Painting an EPIC Community Mural in Marathon, Ontario!

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Have you participated in painting a community mural? If so, what was your favorite part of the experience?

[@CerraEquus]

Actually yes, someone donated the colours and I painted in the evenings during a 2 day horse clinic a metal container where horse stuff is stored, aproximately 3 by 2 meters. The most favorite part was, that most of it was done during one night without knowledge of the owner and she liked it the very next morning :) It was a green shamrock plant which is her logo with text of her company name. 3 colours have been used, dark green, light green and yellow :)

Painting with you in Brownsville was a life changing experience. From watching and helping the transformation of a very prominent wall to interacting with the community, it was so surreal. It gave me hope for humanity when we all come together.

I want to say thank you for doing this project. It makes me wish I was younger to explore the Americas in this way, see the beauty of the landscape and people. I look forward to the rest of your journey.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Thank you, Camille. It really means a lot to both of us to know others are on the journey with us, enjoying the people, landscapes, and stories as much as we are enjoying capturing them!

Wow that must have taken ages. It's beautiful.

[@ArtWeThereYet]

It DID! All summer! But we're grateful it did, because that's why we got to Alaska late and decided to spend a winter here. And that has changed our world.

[@alfredodejuan390]

Really awesome result! I wish Bobby will have a great wake up after Alaska winter

[@ArtWeThereYet]

We hope so too! Thank you for your compliments about the mural!

The next time I go back, it will be very different seeing the community centre painted with a mural! (Not a bad thing, I just never expected that)

[@ArtWeThereYet]

Yes, downtown looks a bit different now! :)
