Art Mural Day 10: It is finished!

"The Parable of the Tree"
Art Mural designed by Artist Bee
I woke up extra early this morning in a race against time to paint in all the figures while we have the cherry picker. Not knowing when the cherry picker would be collected, I painted as fast as I could, doing a record 11 figures in 2 hours. By 9am we have completed everything above 3 metres.

I spent the rest of the morning touching up and painting in the wheels of the bikes which the volunteers left unpainted. At noon, I was pleasantly surprised when a man who delivers goods daily to a nearby shop presented us with a small box of chocolates. He said it was to thank us for letting him park his van in the barricaded area everyday to make his delivery job easier. The chocolates were delicious! At 4pm I was finally done. What a relief and I am so happy we have finished the mural.

As we packed up and were about to leave, a lady walked by and thanked us for the mural.She has been having health issues and told us the colours of the mural brightens her whenever she walks by. Such words of encouragement make me forget my tiredness and indeed it has been all worthwhile!
