Parks are the heart of a neighborhoods. A place for children to play and make memories while their parents take a break. My city has been revamping its parks and I have had the honor of helping them bring some decoration and pride to the park’s neighborhoods by painting murals on the park’s bathrooms.
While painting this newest mural I had many visitors, mainly neighborhood kids, who brought me compliments and questions about the mural. Many of my new young friends have a creative heart and voiced a desire to grow their skills. I hope that this mural can remind them of the tips I gave to “keep working every day” towards those dreams.
