The Jewel P. Lightfoot Mural

This project was commissioned by the Grand Lodge of Texas in Waco, by Past Grand Master Brad Billings who is currently Grand Secretary. The artwork was conceived over 80 years ago to be part of the backdrop of the main auditorium and believed to have been at the direction of former Attorney General of Texas and Past Grand Master of Texas Freemasonry Jewel P. Lightfoot and is based on a sketch discovered on the architectural model of the building recently discovered in storage. For unknown reasons the project was shelved and I was asked last year to bring it to life in the form of a Triptych. The style is a blend of Egyptian and Art Deco and I brought in gold leaf for the pyramid elements. This was installed this past Saturday in the Grand Secretary’s office. Thanks to Brother Tristan Terrell for his help throughout the project and delivery and Past Grand Master of Texas Brad Billings for his passion to see this come together and making this installation a reality.
