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.

Children's murals...have I shown you these?

Jordi had to be in every shot....I finished both of these murals for my girls as a 2nd Birthday gift...Jordan's was the last I did, which was last Summer...I have been concentrating more on World wide sales and marketing...my murals are usually word of mouth, which at the moment suits me just fine.

This was just when I finished, now she has curtains like in Ashley's room(the one with the Panda bear)

Apple trees to feed the animals in her room...of course:-)

Her 2 favourite horses...Hammi and CB(Christian Bendix-named after my Grandfather from Denmark)

No moving over to Ashley's room...cuddly animals and beautiful flowers...she adores her room..

The colourful song bird...as she calls him. Bright in colour and sitting high and proud.

This is her favourite wall in her room...Gigi Giraffe and the Polly Panda Bear, hugging it's cub.

And last but not least, Molly Monkey...with such kind eyes, watching over her when she sleeps.

Well, it's still a work in progress...I'm excited I have 2 projects to work on this Summer...2 children's murals(fairies and meadows)...last night I started my research into the animals which have been requested...the Blue Heron was a must because it reminded the client of where she spent her Summers up at the cottage...I'll be making pencil sketches of all the flowers and animals first before painting on the wall...it helps with composition, perspective and size comparisons between animals and plants.

I'll keep posting the progress of both future murals...

Have a wonderful day...all is quiet here which is a GREAT thing.

Char,Ontario.
