As he listened to the Eurythmics on an iPhone, Cameron Bester used a coat of blue paint to add the final touches of a guitar that stood taller than him on a concrete wall.

Chris Stolmeier used a pencil to add more designs while curious drivers passed by, gazing at their artwork.

“We hear people driving by and saying, ‘Good job,’” Stolmeier said.

The mural being created by three teenagers on SW Erie Street in Oak Harbor is an effort to leave a lasting memory of the Oak Harbor Music Festival that rocked the community Aug. 29-31.

Stolmeier, a senior and advanced art student at Oak Harbor High School, is one of two student members of the nine-person Oak Harbor Arts Commission. He agreed to tackle the mural project with the help of fellow Oak Harbor senior Kayleigh Dunham and Bester, a recent graduate.

Other commitments kept Stolmeier from attending the festival, but he knows he missed something special from the shouts of approval from passers-by.

The music festival included 33 bands and drew 15,000 people.

Bester attended the first night.

“I liked it,” he said. “They had a lot of really good acts.

“One thing that boggled my mind was they had this little drone with a camera on it. It was great.”

The mural shows a large musical symbol and the festival’s signature guitar with the words “Oak Harbor Music Festival.”

The mural is about 9 feet tall and 20 feet wide.

Sherwin-Williams donated the paint for the project.

The Freund family gave permission to paint on the wall along their property, said arts commission member Skip Pohtilla.

The wall has been a location the arts commission has targeted for art for some time, Pohtilla said.

Nora O’Connell-Balda, an arts commission member, approached Stolmeier with the idea of a community service project and he accepted.

“I think it’s a big honor to put art into the town,” he said.
