Painting a Mural Wall

 I work with a man who loves to do tasks. I needed a creative project that he would be interested in. Little did I know he would love painting a mural. As he cannot reach to paint the wall himself, his tasks involved choosing colours and telling me where he wanted to colours on the wall. He would also remind me to paint each day and was the manager of this project until every inch was covered in paint.
 I decided to transform an old ugly corkboard wall into a colourful mural that the clients can look at and interpret in their own way. My helper chose the colours and we worked on the wall over a few weeks. I painted 2-3 different colour lines each day with my helper's encouragement and it became an activity that he looked forward to each day.
