Lehman's History Mural by Kristin Lorson[/caption]
The mural begins in 1955 when Jay Lehman borrowed money from his father to purchase the gas station that was on the main corner in Kidron, that would soon become Lehman's Hardware. As the store grew, so did Jay's family. Now in his retirement, Jay has two of his four children to look after Lehman's legacy. Carrying on the traditions, centered in the front of the mural are Jay's son, Galen, now taking on the charge for his father while looking over plans for the future expansion of the store. Galen's younger sister, Glenda, looks on with pen and paper in hand, ready to get involved. Standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the two of them, are Jay and an Amish Contractor to instruct and guide. A representation of the future of Lehman's Hardware, passing on the traditions to the next generation.
Kristin pointed out that, "The main focus of the mural I wanted to achieve was, that, although Lehman's grew and adjusted with the times, they always remained true to the Amish Community. The Amish being electricity free rely on Lehman's to be there for their non-electric supplies." At the top of the mural, starting in 1955 ending in 2005 is a bright rainbow. To represent how there is always hope. Although there were tough times, there is always a brighter future around the corner. Kristin will be on-hand for the show to answer any questions about this mural or about her other art work. She will have on display some of her other unique painting styles, one of which, she calls her 'Personality Portraits", a personalized portrait depicting someone's life with bright and cheery colors and humor, as well as, other acrylic paintings.
