Boston Red Sox Scholars Help Paint New Dimock Center Mural





I got to work with the Boston Red Sox Foundation again at the Dimock Center to paint another fun mural project. This mural is a kid-friendly Pop Art landscape with lots of color and creatures for the wee ones since it it painted in a hallway frequented by lots of kids who pass by and play there. I added a lot of details at kid height so they can see lots of fun stuff at their own level.

About 25 or so young kids from the Red Sox Scholars volunteer program manned paint brushes throughout the day taking turns so everyone got a chance to paint. I had fun supervising the mayhem and hopefully the kids had fun too. After it was over I spent a day and half cleaning up the painting and doing all the finishing work. Special thanks to Donna Saunders-Wallace from Dimock and Gena Borson from the Red Sox for their enthusiasm and support. I look forward to the next project!
