Residents of Mount Rainier, MD gathered at the intersection of 34th and Bunker Hill to paint a mural on the street. The volunteer effort was lead by Mike Turner, center.

Prepared painters wore hats for protection from the sun.

The outline of the painting was done in chalk and we began painting from the inside of the sun and moved outwards.

It took many people and brushes to get the paint onto the ground.

Even some little ones joined in painting the sky.

Once the main colors were laid it was time to blend. Bill Updike was on the blending-the-edges team.

Krista Schlyer lead the blending team.

Painting began at noon and by 5 the finishing touches were being added. We unfortunately ran out of white paint for the clouds so the painting will be finished in the coming weeks.

    I love the one with the clouds rolling in over blue skies above with Bill painting blue skies below.
