Day 1 and 2 at Bell Weir lock in Runnymede, painting commemorative murals for the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta. Rain has unfortunately stopped play today, but as you’ll see from one of the photos below, the sun was glistening on the river at the start of the week. It has however been totally freezing, not helped by the fact that the wall is in shadow for most of the day. Back to wearing thermals!
I was really pleased to be joined by the students from East Berkshire college yesterday, who have designed the murals. I persuaded them to have a go at drawing part of the design on the wall, which they managed to do with a little bit of assistance and encouragement! Hopefully back on site tomorrow to carry on with the painting, and keeping fingers crossed that not too much damage has been caused by this mornings heavy rain…
