4th Post Painting - Sat. November 13th, 2016 - Calle Ocampo

Rainy Saturday Morning

Saturday morning turned out to be drizzzzzzly!  A light rain started to fall around 6 a.m.
I thought perhaps the kids would not want to venture out into the rain....boy, was I wrong!

We started out with a Color Mixing class.  All the kids wanted to learn how to mix the colors
they would require for completing their designs.


At 8:55 a.m. the kids started to arrive at 6 Esquinas, their spirits not at all daunted by the rain.

Some of them wanted to know if we could start early, to get a jump on the post painting.


Adrenaline ran high, but they buckled down and listened....and learned.


Color class almost done, they lined up to get their paints, brushes, and other materials.


And off they went to claim their posts.


Danny wanted to paint his favorite monster.


This group was totally immersed in their favorite foods.  Someone must have skipped 
breakfast to get to the Post Painting on time.


Georgeanna worked beautifully with the kids.  
Her Spanish flawless and her English even better!


Moms also helped paint...a family affair.


Lulu adds the finishing touches.


One of our youngest painters, Magaly, knew exactly what she wanted to paint.


Magda is caught by surprise, always with a smile on her face.


Girl Power Rules!


Beauty blooms before our eyes.


But the boys would not be left behind and painted with passion.


Messages of love and peace abound.


Almost done.


Even with the rain the sun shone through....be it in paint or in the sky
It was appreciate.

Catch our kid's work all over town.

We will be painting every Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to 12 noon, 
and undoubtedly you will see some of us in your neighborhood.

Next Saturday, Nov. 19th, 2016 we will meet again at Ajijic Plaza at 9 a.m. 
to continue our project.  Feel free to join us or bring a youth to participate.

We'd like to thank the 5th and 6th grade classes from 
Marcos Castellas Elementary School
for all their fine and hard work.

Also our paint sponsor, Prisa Paints

Our tireless volunteers who make this possible.

And our friend, Regidor Juan de Dios Garcia Velazco for all his support.
