Community Project - mural paintings

It's a lapse of few months from January this year that our community project at Duchess of Kent Children's Hospital was finally completed.  It ended in a high note with a meaningful opening ceremony of the Radiology Center in which the Hospital has revamped the facilities to offer advanced services to the public.  We artists at Artists Abroad were greatly honored.

A few of our designs were chosen; a small party to meet up with the Hospital people behind this project.

A quick start on the mural painting in the first X-ray room.  I just loved the free painting and art jamming!  It only took us a few days to complete.

Second X-ray room, with a totally different painting style - masking and sponging, then drawings of birds and bugs.  Also a quick work, but the finishing was not as easy as expected.

After almost two months, the renovation of this reception area was finally ready for painting.  It was precision wall painting, which wasn't quite my thing, plus I had an accident of having a nail go right into my foot through my flip-flop ... bleeding ... bleeding ... but our other artists efficiently brought the work to completion also within a few days.

Big day of celebration, great opening ceremony in which various speeches informed me how much the public, the very needy children, would benefit from these new facilities.  Even our mural paintings are a source of comfort and motivation to them.  We all felt very honored to be able to be a part of their project and mission.
