This collaborative community project was initiated by the Bee Cave Arts Foundation with the idea of creating a one of a kind mosaic bench for the park. As a gift to Board member Deby Childress, this bench “ A Peaceful Place” was dedicated to the memory of her father Ray Mitchhart and brother Brad Mitchhart.
The sailboat scene on the front of the bench depicts Ray’s favorite pastime and the many weekends/vacations the family spent together on the lake.
The flying guitar on the back of the bench has a quote across the wings. It says “ The song is ended but the melody still lingers on”. This quote speaks of the men’s mutual love of playing the guitar and the families loving memories of all those songs they played.
The white dove on one side is a messenger for love and peace and the stone tree on the other side represents the strong family ties.
