It depicts figures adorned with symbolism related to characters in Greek mythology, including Hermes, Athena, and Demeter, along with local businesses and local landmarks such as the neighborhood farmers' market, Grand Central Bakery, Portland Fish Market, Woodstock Park, and the Woodstock Library.
The Woodstock Neighborhood Association (WNA) originally made plans for a mural on the exterior wall of Lutz Tavern.
Following an outreach effort to identify an artist, Lawrence and WNA met for a brainstorming session, during which they agreed on themes for the proposed public artwork.
The original mural was completed on the Red Fox Vintage building by Heidi Schultz in November 2013.
According to the Regional Arts & Culture Council (RACC), each section includes a central figure adorned with symbolism associated with Greek mythology, representing one of three themes: commerce, education, and the outdoors.
[4] The center section is devoted to education and depicts Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, in the form of a girl in the Woodstock Library.
Woodstock School's Mandarin Immersion Program is honored with an arc of Chinese characters above the girl's head, written on a chalkboard.
Douglas fir trees and Woodstock Park, specifically its off-leash dog area, are also depicted in the painting's right section.
[4] The Woodstock Neighborhood Association (WNA) originally made plans to paint a community mural on the east exterior of Lutz Tavern.
Kenny Heggem, who served as the project manager of the mural committee,[4][5] recalled, "We talked about our fantastic park and its leash-free dog area, Woodstock Elementary's Mandarin Immersion Program, and our awesome library.
RACC published an image of Lawrence's proposed mural and said the goal of the project was to "highlight the best of the neighborhood and instill a sense of community pride".
[2][3] She created a pattern against the wall using Lawrence's digital design, then mixed the paint, completed the mural, and added a clear coating for protection.
[10] Cohen and his assistant, Christo Wunderlich, transferred the design using a machine, then painted the art by hand.
