car park art: day 2.....

Well by the time I arrived this morning the priming elves had worked their magic - hooray!!! So now it was the turn of painting, upto level four we headed which is the space level. Again we faced a few issues:

1/. the left lift still wasn't working, which actually worked in the project's favour because it meant that we could corden off that particular lift area without any worries. But.......................it also meant that there was an engineer about and he was working in the area in front of the stairs which limited us to what we could paint.

2/. the weather: it was horrendous today and just poured down with rain. These damp conditions mean a longer drying time and that Alison and I also got quite wet because we had to use another stairwell if we needed anything. Occassionally we would use the lift but that leads to another issue........

3/. because of the wet weather it appeared that more people used their cars and unfortunately it had made them stroppy too! Because there was only one lift working and the stairs were out of bounds they became frustrated and unfortunately some instead of going to the other stairs avaliable, decided to ignore signs and safety tape etc and walked up freshly painted stairs!!!!!

Annoyed would be an understatement . Rraaaaggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! is more like it, behaviour like that from adults really frustrates me...............anyhow, we did get some positive reactions from the public too and a few good lucks.

On the painting front I started off with the green, remembering I can only use one colour at a time. Managed to cover in front of the lift, earth, the green on the stairs and even put in some of the birds on the sky level. This was then followed up with the yummy blue paint - again in front of the lift, earth, some of the space background and again sky level recieved a cloud.
