"Most of them will disappear way earlier and I think this was running eight years now before they painted it over to me that was a good run," he said.

All day long people stopped to watch, took pictures and asked questions.

"I think it's fantastic. When you're taking a nice walk, it gives you something beautiful to look at," Steven Millman said.

Gowing said she can't wait to see the finished product.

"Knowing what it's going to be and knowing how spectacular it was before it's so exciting," she said.
