Different strokes

We were back with The Artful Hub for our second layer of paint this evening. We were originally meant to be at St Anthony's School on the Farnham Rd doing an outdoor painting task however due to the lack of light, that task was postponed until the Summer.

So Eva was delighted when I asked if we could come back tonight to carry on with what we started last week. Same type of task but just different strokes!

Warm welcome to Jennifer on her first Slough task...she was here for the tourism and you can't get more touristic than Slough!

We met at Sainsbury's on the Uxbridge Rd, welcoming Jennifer followed by task brief and warm up then headed down the road to Tesco. Sounds more like a GG shopping (c)art mission doesn't it but with our original meet up point still a vaccine centre, this is how we roll these days - meeting up in different areas of Slough....But before we move on...lets give Sara a shout out for restarting her running tonight after a years gap...

On arrival, Eva had everything ready for us and asked us to give the left side of the unit a good coating of paint. It didn't take us long to unwrap the brushes from last week and get into our flow...

  • We had the rolling tones - Sandy, Gauri and Kam tackling the stone wall;

  • Whilst Jenni, Sara and Abdul were off with a flying art with the 'porus' green wall trying to make it white again. This wall had a mind of it of it's own! We shall break you next week wall!

The task tonight didn't take us too long at all. Always amazing to see how much of a difference a handful of helpers can make in less than one hour. Next week we will be tackling the upstairs areas of the kitchen and bathroom.

As always with Eva and Salvo, the evening finished with a biscuit and chat before saying our goodbyes and heading back to base.

Thank you for having us Artful Hub...we are already looking forward to next week.
