<\/a><\/p>\n

This summer my family (all five of us) went to Mexico to work in an orphanage for a week.\u00a0 My main “job” was to paint a mural. Having seen pictures of grounds\/facilities, I knew it was mostly white & grey. I’m a huge believer in art being transformative visually & emotionally.\u00a0 \u00a0I had asked prior to going if that was something they would like.\u00a0 They said yes, but wanted some sketches to select from.\u00a0 One of which was done in the style of Mexican embroidery.\u00a0 This is the one they wanted.\u00a0 I was fine with it because the design was similar to Pennsylvania Dutch Hex Signs (my mom’s side is from a Pennsylvania Dutch background).\u00a0 I brought in few teenagers each day to help me with painting of the mural.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Our first day I took about four hours to draw out the mural.\u00a0 The wall is kind of stucco “ish”, and wasn’t the easiest to draw upon.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n
<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On the second day, I had three high school students from the Texas team helping me paint.\u00a0 We focused on the blues & greens.\u00a0 It was a real “learning” day for me.\u00a0 The surface was so bumpy, and had to figure out what way of painting worked best.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On the third day three of the youth from our church helped me start adding in the other colors. I also started seeing some “holes” in the design that needed “MORE”.\u00a0 I added more leaves, butterflies, hearts, and flowers to fill out the design more.\u00a0 I worked on that and doing some larger blended flowers.\u00a0 My amazing crew filled in with solid color.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On the last day, my daughter (blue shirt) & her best friend helped me out on the last day.\u00a0 One of the wall texture “issues” was pitting in the paint. Little white “holes” that would appear after the paint started to dry.\u00a0 So the girls helped me for about an hour, and then I spent the next 7 1\/2 blending colors, adding details, adding highlights…and other assorted things.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
