Wall Painting at Prince of Wales Hospital

So finally I can upload the picture. This is the wall painting we did yesterday at the Prince of Wales Hospital. This is the part done by we five gals and the leaves at the left end, to the right of the stones were coloured by me :)

Well, when the other four were all fine arts graduates, all I could do was colouring.

The painting is located at the North Wing of the Hospital, along one of the busiest hallway. Other volunteers and the artist working out the original painting have been working on it for several weekends. We, in a group of five, had "coloured" all day from 10am to 5pm yesterday, and all we could finish was the leaves you see from the picture :)

That was the first day I participated in Arts in Hospital event, and it was quite an interesting experience. It's Sunday and the Hospital was not that "busy". Patients and families walked by and telling you how they were amused about your "good" work. Nurses and other hospital staff discussed and told you that they wanted a bird, a chicken and a duck (maybe because of the bird flu :) or may be some more flowers in the painting. A mom wheeled her son in a wheel chair to see us working to cheer him up... The painting was not yet done but you know what you are there for.

P.S. Below is the other end of the painting, done by other group of volunteers, one of them is a CUHK fine arts master!

No kidding! All I did was colouring, and I coloured only a small part after one whole day!
But it's really a good experience.
