This is Tom, also known as Boxcar. Tom dropped by on Saturday and gave us a hand with painting. Apparently he used to paint murals on commission of "old things, like canons, from the Civil War" on walls in California and elsewhere. He shared stories with us about thos eprojects, and told us a few tips for painting, such as putting water in the "pocket" of the paintbrushes before dipping them in the paint. This, Boxcar explained, would make cleaning the brushes a lot easier later on. He was a great presence during the workday, playing guitar and telling jokes, painting in the wide gaps in the bricks, holding the ladder, and even rummaging around town to find extra containers to pour paint into. He told the rest of us working on the mural that he was determined to "help see this thing through", and that he was happy to be a part of a "community building project." People sure can be great...
UPCOMING WORKDAYS:
Wednesday June 9, 11-3pm : Painting Color Begins!
Thursday June 10, 11-3pm : Painting Color continues...
