| Beginning of Day 7 |
Another early start on a fine day with cloudy skies but no rain. I completed the tree today - hooray!
I spent the rest of the day mostly doing the skies, blending in the colours for a more natural look. Doing this on my canvas test piece a few months ago had been easy, but now I am faced with a 23m by 7m wall and a reach of only about 2 m square at any one time while perched on a cherry picker that swings wildly each time we have to move positions. My partner has, to his credit, become increasingly skilful at manoeuvring this little machine. We joked that he can now earn his cherry picker licence!

| The Tree completed |
By evening, we have done about half the skies, leaving the other half for tomorrow. We will then have to paint the tree again for the second time as we need to have two coats of paint. We only have the cherry picker till the weekend, so my priority is to complete all the work above the 3 metre line before then. By today, my partner and I have worked nonstop 12 hour shifts for the past 6 days. Once again, our hearts are warmed when a dear friend brought us not only a delicious home-cooked lunch but dinner as well. This is the mural at the end of day 7:
