Karl and I made more progress on the mural. I can't believe how long it's taken to get this far. The weather is almost always against us. It's either too rainy and the paint runs or it's too hot and we get sick. I should have made all the people that signed up to help with this project sign some sort of contract. Oh well. I'm determined to complete this project. It's been a major learning experience. Summer is almost done and it's looking pretty cute.   Karl working on the tree line. He's almost always assigned [...]

Our mural features the four seasons of the year with bear and rabbit characters. Summer and spring are mostly complete. Today Karl worked on applying the second coat of green to the treeline while Taiki, Katrina, AnnaMaria, and I began painting the fall and winter scenes. We spent about five hours working on the mural before the heat depleted us. It's been slow and uncomfortable work thank to the hot summer sun shining down on the metal building. We have to take lots of hydration breaks to avoid becoming heat sick. We've learned a lot while working on this project. [...]

This year's homecoming theme is Paint the Town Red. AnnaMaria came up with an excellent design and is doing a fantastic job with the banner itself. Karl made the frame. Great job everyone!

Karl, AnnaMaria, and I made more progress on the mural project. It's starting to look really cute now that the characters and flowers are mostly filled in.

Stacey, Karl, and I made a little more progress on the Little Tree Preschool mural project. Thank goodness for overcast days.

  Allison, Josh, AnnaMaria, Karl, and I made more progress on the mural project. Karl brought our ladder so I was able to put him to work on the treeline. It's coming together slowly but surely.  

Taiki, AnnaMaria, Anna, and I applied the first coat of paint for the grass and treeline of summer and spring. The house paint we're using goes on thin so we'll probably need at least 2-3 coats. It's also a bit runny. Sigh. I have a feeling this is going to take awhile. We wrapped up our work around 8:30 and went to Subway together for dinner afterwards. I love Art Alliance meals at Subway. :)
