Spirit of the Sea“Spirit of the Sea” is a design created for the purpose of beautifying the Harbourfront Community Centre boat. The concept behind the piece relates to the mythology and fantasy associated with the sea. Mythical creatures and dream-like images reflect a world of wonder and imagination. The mermaid featured at the bow (front) of the boat, represents the spirit (or soul of the sea who watches over the waters and all of its creatures. The images are meant to illustrate a sense of harmony, the constant cycles of the moon and sun and the ebb and flow of the waves.

Youth Link in the week of Monday, Aug 10-15 2009.
On Monday Aug. 10th, we went to the YouthLink which is located at Queen and Spadina Street. We spent a week there, painting walls and the doors. Before we painted the walls, they were all graffitis, a whole bunch of writings there. They were a mess. So now, that we have finished "decorating" the walls...they are much better looking than before. We used, spray paint, paint and tempra paint. We had fun.

Painting a sailboat at the The National Yacht Club.
The mural project started painting on a boat, with a permission from the HCC, of course. As you can see by the pictures, we had fun, but we also took a lot of time and effort to get things right. And, ahem, we kind of fooled around a bit.Anya and Kirsten painting happily...please don't mind Kirsten, she was just fooling around.
Jasper giving it a "go" to paint a boat, and he looks like he is having fun!
