Crosswalk Painting - Broadway Ave - Saskatoon

http://broadwayyxe.com/ 
Watch your step!  I actually got to paint the town red!  And yellow.  And blue.  And a little black.  Well, not the whole town, it was 2 crosswalks on Broadway and 11th.  I worked with Broadway BID  and designed two patterns using the Broadway colors.  Thanks Edyta, Dee Ann, Madeline, Noah, and Madeline's friend Zara for coming out and helping.  Many hands!






A commercial line painting machine was called into action!

Out comes pattern 1!
Typical male.  Letting the ladies do the heavy lifting.
Putting down the pattern.  Thankfully, it was not a windy day, which has been rare this summer!
Pattern 2 ready for first color.


Thanks Noah, for lending a hand.  He worked hard, sitting down was not typical of him.  Madeline and Zara taking a much needed dinner break in the background, they did not sit long either.  Great work, people!

Watch your step!  Wet paint!  Adding a little ground glass for reflectivity.

Skills.  Look at that straight line!

One color left!
Ta Da!  Same typical male, just standing there still. 

Touching up some spots with a brush.

A few more touch ups.  It's getting dark out.  Great timing. 

Waiting for it to dry now.  Lights are coming on, so its getting late!

It's dry!  It was 5:30 a.m. and looking great!




We did a drive by.  Well, actually  a drive over!  First!
