From the artist:

I really enjoyed painting this image for the neighborhood school my children attended when they were in their primary grades. I was very involved with the children in AFE before, during, and after the painting.

At a school assembly, the idea of mural painting, and planning for it, was discussed with all 130 kids. Ideas were solicited - what would they like to see? Workshops were held in art classes, where they illustrated their favourite images. I reviewed the submissions, and looked for common themes. Volunteer children offered their hands and arms as models at my request, to complete my planning. The finished plan was accepted and painting began with great interest on the playground. I enjoyed allowing kids to swing a brush and 'help' - it was a great event for the community.
