Ferdinand and Riverside Street Painting

Saturday morning I volunteered to help paint an enormous street mural near my neighborbood. The art was created by Maggie Perrin-Key who recently did a building mural at Hollins University as well.I pedal through this area of Ferdinand often on my e-bike, so was thrilled to be able to make it a safer and more beautiful route. All said, there were over 70 of us who pitched in to make it happen. I worked for a few hours doing a lot of 'cutting in' on the design and ended up in the video shared on the local news a few times.
