Browning has been periodically painting murals on one of the large windows inside the library on Lenora Church Road and when it came time to paint a wintery scene, she chose Snellville City Hall. The painting, shouting “Welcome to Snellville” includes snow on the ground and animals such as a polar bear and penguin.
“We wanted something that would last through January and everyone would enjoy,” the South Carolina native said. “What better than City Hall and winter critters?”
At first, the children Browning reads to every Wednesday thought the building in the painting was the White House, but they soon came to recognize City Hall.
“They’d say, ‘Yeah, that’s the one I see at the red light.’ They knew what it was eventually,” she said.
