FIN! We are DONE!

The mural is complete! We have finished our mural at the Boys and Girls Club in Bay City. The best part is that everyone who has seen it has really liked it. The next thing that we will need to plan is the unveiling that will take place in late April, early May. I really can't wait until everyone gets to see it.

This week in Bay City was a lot of fun and a lot of hard work. We had to finish painting everything! The most difficult part with the painting was the children. Since they were smaller and didn't have very many straight edges it was a little more difficult to fill them in.

Meeting with the kids was a lot of fun. We had them point at us and say, "Look there go the painters!" Some of them would call us the "artists". Our first encounter with the kids, we had two little boys run away screaming, "Girls! Girls!" All of our encounters with the kids were a lot of fun. We got a chance to use their new art room for the first time. We had them do their stars which they all decorated in many different ways.

The most awesome part of the week is that we got two interviews with two different papers. We got our first interview published in Thursday's paper (http://www.matagordaadvocate.com/news/2011/feb/17/painting-smiles-art-project-inspires-high-school-s/?news). We will have our second interview published in this coming Sunday's paper.

The project of Painting Smiles was a lot of fun and very rewarding. It's sad to have to say that its over for now. We do hope to paint more murals in the future. I hope that this was only the beginning of a new path and hobby. We will continue to make plans concerning to our unveiling and hopefully future projects.
