4E Sunday, November 25, 2018 The Times, Gainesville, Georgia | gainesvilletimes.com LIFE BUS ■ Continued from 1E eventually started painting murals on private walls at homes, on backyard fences and even on city walls at fes tivals like CRUSH WALLS in Denver. Like the School Bus Graveyard, Morris’ art is always changing. It’s never the same but always carries his personality. “It’s fine lines and big teeth,” Morris said of his mural art. “I’ve got this little character I do, I’ve been doing him since I was like 10, so he’s been around a while ... and then I do these really thin lines to make up an image, but that stuff is always changing. What I’m doing now is not what I was doing 10 years ago.” Peter Loose was there for his third time, adding claws to an alligator inspired by Clyde, a “good friend” of Loose’s who lives near his home in Hull, Georgia. Clyde also happens to be a 13-foot-2-inch alligator, who has inhabited a pond in Hull for more than 20 years. So now, Clyde is on the side of one of those buses, with skeletons surrounding him. Although he said he doesn’t plan much when he paints, he plans on making it out to the School Bus Grave yard every year as long as he’s welcome. “It’s such a stupid thing to do, paint a bus,” said Loose, a full-time artist out of Hull. “But it’s really a way to just clear your head and not think too hard. And it makes everybody laugh, too. There’s a lot of people who enjoy this place.” Kristin Davis uses art in the same way: To clear her mind. “I’ve suffered from depression,” said Davis, an artist and dog groomer from Demorest. “It’s just some thing I’ve always struggled with, and art has always been a way for me to get out those emotions and thoughts and translate it to something useful and beautiful.” Even though she’s seen the School Bus Graveyard for years, she said she’s always been intimidated at the thought of painting a mural and felt like she’d mess it up. But this year, Davis decided to take it on. She turned up at 8:30 a.m. to paint a version of the Blue Ridge Mountains that’s unique to her. Painting scenes like her mountains with a sun in the middle and circles radiating from it as rays of light has “been therapy for me more than anything, for years.” A few buses down from Davis, slowly covering black snakes with yellow stripes and yellow eyes that had been painted by Loose last year, was Amanda Morris, perched on a step ladder to reach the colorful neck of her hummingbird. The bus, unlike many oth ers in the School Bus Grave yard, was painted yellow HARRIS ■ Continued from 1E Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, Bing Crosby and the Carpenters. You hear pure voices with nice arrangements of songs you can sing along to. We used to have Christ mas shows on TV that were worth watching. We knew when Andy Williams would have his Christmas special and would be at home with the TV warmed up and ready to watch. Today, I find myself watching a Christmas show and thinking, “I came home for this?” I wish there were more good songs and shows we could remember year after year.

She said the focus of her paintings has evolved from huge bugs and giant insects to large birds. “There is nothing like painting on a school bus,” Morris said. “You just get so involved, and there’s so much texture. And I feel like it’s really exciting to trans form things that are junk or mundane into something really exciting.” And that’s why Nick Mor ris continues to do it: The School Bus Graveyard is something for everyone to enjoy. The school buses, origi nally meant to keep people out of the junkyard, have turned into much more. “It’s super cool because everybody gets to do what they want,” Morris said. “And it’s kind of like a prov ing ground, to see what everybody likes. It’s my favorite place to paint and I’ve painted all over the country all up and down the West Coast... The whole mission is to paint, paint and paint every day.” For All Occ XXWfUO Call or Come See Us Today 100 Washington Street NW - Gainesville, GA 678.943.8776 • occasions-tlorist-gainesville.com HOBBY LOBBY FIND A LOCATION NEAR YOU OR SHOP ONLINE AT HOBBYLOBBY.COM STORE HOURS: 9 A.M. - 8 P.M. • CLOSED SUNDAY Candle Holders Wall and table Wood Decor Wood wall decor and finished decorative wood accessories Does not include furniture or unfinished craft wood Christmas is what you make it HOME DECOR 50^ Categories Listed Does not include Seasonal Department Knobs, Pulls, Handles, Hooks & Decorative Hardware Decorative Memo Boards, Chalkboards & Corkboards Priced $24.99 & Up Glass Decor Glass Department, floral glass vases and craft glass containers Does not include craft stained glass Metal Decor Metal wall decor, functional & decorative metal accessories (Includes metal containers in our Floral & Crafts Departments) Does not include furniture Decorative Lanterns, Birdcages & Terrariums Framed & Canvas Art .... , T Men’s Metal & Wood Decor Wicker, Decorative Boxes, Trays & Storage wan and table Does not include large trunks or craft & paper crafts storage Items labeled The Spring Shop™ are not included in Home Decor sale.
