The City of Bedford is creating a community mural in a tree design. Encompassing the design will be 300 mosaic tiles painted by Bedford residents. Ray and I went to one of the paint locations and got in on the action. My first tile I picked was for the "Warm color" section of the tree. I used a flower stencil and expanded from there.
My second design came from the "blues" section of the mural - more for the sky surrounding the tree. I used a sponge for the background blues for some texture, and then whispered around a design.
Ray stayed in the "blues" area, used a stencil, and colored in from there. It had to be 80% blues, 20% other colors.
And another addition to the "blues" from Ray.
We enjoyed our hour of creativity, and it was fun seeing how other people interpreted the assignment. Some stuck with stencils, others did free hand designs. It will be very interesting to see how this all pulls together into a colorful tree.
Look for community activities. Free to do. Fun! and hey - it's your tax dollars at work for something worthwhile - ART!
