Smiles for sailors

Technically speaking, murals are painted on walls, ceilings, or both.  But there are so many other opportunities to use paint to increase beauty and joy, to bring color and cheer.  If the surface will hold paint,  and isn't moving too quickly,  we can paint it.   Last weekend, the chance to increase joy was offered by this old swinging bench nailed onto a dock by the Chester River.
