POND MURAL:: Finished!

YAY...finished,finally...not that it was really a HUGE project or that it took that long...but I was eager to see the finished result.

It's been hard photographing this, so you'll have to excuse the amount of pics I have taken...

I have to say thank you to LA for asking me to create this little hide away for their 2 little ones...their very own grassy pond bathroom...where they can go and hand out with their bunny,butterflies or the heron and frogs...

I'm SO pleased that this mirror was across the entire wall...it has allowed the feel of the room to be airy and not to feel overwhelming.

The lotus flowers add a touch of femininity...which softened the room greatly.

I can't wait to hear how their first bath went...I made sure to add as many different colour butterflies as I could...colour games are always great with 2 year olds!

I'm so happy that the trees worked out and weren't too over powering. It's hard sometimes to translate a sketch on paper to the proposed wall...

It did cross my mind to paint the whole room a light blue...but it only crossed it and left very quickly!

Painting is limitless...to your imagination.

I know my birch trees aren't as rugged and realistic as they should...but they're my birch trees, and they work for this bathroom environment.

This frog makes me smile...he looks like a deer caught in head-lights.

One of my favourite parts of the mural...the Blue Heron. He was the first "definite" subject LA wanted in the room.

Thanks for joining me on this weeks journey.

Have a great weekend...I'll pass by and see what you've been up to over the next couple of days...

Now...to sleep.

Night.

Pond Mural::Day 3...2 more to go!

Sorry...too tired to write. I just prepped and served dinner to friends...my husband cleaned the house and got the girls ready for bed, whilst I finished prepping at setting the table.
Our guests just left.

So, I'm on target...finished the trees and some of the flowers...tomorrow(or today rather) butterflies and dragonflies!

Thanks for stopping by.

Pond Mural:: So far...

this is what I have done...I'm working daily on the Pond Mural in a bathroom...hoping to finish on Friday.

Yesterday I sketched it all out...in watercolour...this way it's easy to correct.

I was a little concerned that it may feel a little overwhelming because it's not a very large bathroom...but the mirror gives a lot of depth.

My daily Tim Horton's Earl Grey Tea...yum!

Today I started to add colour...or GREEN...should I say.

I'm excited about this project...it's fun painting such a large scale painting...

So, we have 3 frogs,a Blue Heron,a rabbit,2 birds and lots of butterflies and dragonflies.

Tomorrow I'm working on the birch trees...and the leaves of the trees...

perhaps also the rocks at the floor of all the reeds.

Hope all is well with you...sorry I haven't been visiting recently, I'll catch up at the end of the week.

Maybe I'll get more than 5 hours sleep tonight...

Goodnight.
