More pictures from Thursday’s paint-a-thon

Here are a few more pictures of the kids and artist team painting their trees. Once Debbie instructed everyone on how to handle a brush, watch for drips, and Jayne helped with paint mixing, they were off to the races.

Each teen started painting on their own tree that they had painted in earlier training sessions. Some of the paint was less opaque than other colors and required a couple of coats. Eventually, each painter was sharing paint and helping each other finish up.

The kids’ jobs are done and on Friday, 8/17, Debbie, Jayne, and Arin will be applying the finishing touches, like outlining, metallic flourishes, and final cleanup.

Stay tuned for more pictures of the kids painting and the FINAL MURAL.

There probably will be a public reception celebrating this project. One of the kids said she’ll come if there’s pizza. Hear that “powers that be?”
