Ss: Filipino Mural 11.15.25

I took part in a volunteer mural project at Rizal Center,1332 W.Irving P.,corner Clark, Chicago, a community center building for Philippine Immigrants. The planning, the concept and the funding took almost a year. The physical painting on the outside wall facing east and the parking lot started in October and the final painting day was last Sunday 11.16.25. I participated last Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. I am grateful to have been given the chance to paint an outdoor mural conceived and executed by 2 dozen Filipino American Artists, from our Sinag USA Chicago Association. The joy and happiness of being a part of a sharing and artistic endeavor facilitated by a blue elevated lift rented from Home Depot, totally erased my appprension of the height of more than 20 feet with a windy wobble from time to time. I was assigned to paint the medals and stripes of the disabled veteran, fine tuned the shoes and the wheelchair and the black outlines of the adult figures. I might be the oldest painter of the mural project! Blessings! I thank God my fellow artist Geri, our Sinag president, and I painted without incident!
