Morgan's parents, Carol and Stephen are here visiting. Today they helped me clean the wall where my first public mural will be. It is a wall about 14 metres square located along the walkway to the Houghton Valley Community Hall and Playcentre. I have always loved that wall. My grandma had a dream that I painted a mural and told me about it not too long ago. It was as if I was meant to paint this wall. After asking the Progressive Association, Playcentre, and the Council if I could paint the wall, as well as having the paint donated, I was able to begin. Today was the big day. The wall is pretty rough and when we started scrubbing, it was amazing to see how much mould and dirt was caked onto the surface. Now it is light and bright, ready to be primed. I am thinking next Sunday I will see if any other people in the community would like to help with the priming.
