Local artist paints mural of Palmer near 1st tee at Innisbrook
Bay Hill is going to have a lot of tributes to Arnold Palmer next week in Orlando, the first time the tour has rolled into the course without the legend in attendance.
The Valspar Championship is providing its own tribute to The King, thanks to local artist Sebastian Coolidge.
Coolidge began painting a mural of Palmer near the first tee at Innisbrook at 9 a.m. ET Thursday, and is expected to finish the project by Saturday.
Can't wait to see this finished product!!! #ValsparChamp pic.twitter.com/WZSjrCsizr

By late Thursday, it was beginning to take shape.

Coolidge is, of course, using Valspar paint for the task.
