My Daughter's Room

The first wall mural that I ever painted was this one for my daughter's new bedroom. She wanted a picket fence with flowers and, of course, a bunny. Since then, her room has been painted over with a couple of different color schemes. This summer I hope to paint a portrait of Marilyn Monroe on her closet doors.

My Son's Room

This is a painting that I did for my son's room when he was younger. Zelda was painted on his door - to stand guard over those who dared to enter. He is older now and would probably prefer to have his door once again white - but somehow I just haven't mustered up enough strength to paint over all that hard work!

A Wall of Quotes

I know, call me crazy, but this too took me a total of 24 hours to paint. It is a wall in my sitting room that was just calling out to me for attention. There are a total of 24 historical quotes - some from the American Revolution, Civil War, and some from historical speeches. I first printed each quote on my computer in a banner format. I then taped them together (to get the size right) - used white chalk on the back to get the quote onto the wall - and then used white paint to painstakingly paint each and every letter by hand. The top picture is a close up of the quotes, and of course, of the bottom picture is of the entire wall.

I am very pleased with the way this project turned out!

A Full Size Wall Mural

This is a wall mural I painted for my neice as a birthday present a few years back. I took a piece of her matching wall border, and having a wall projector, drew the image onto her wall. Then proceeded to paint. It took me a total of 24 hours over a weeks time to finish it. We had to keep her out of her room til then, as it was a surprise! (The seam down the middle is because it was too large to fit into one picture, and therefore is two pictures taped together). It is one of my projects that I am most proud of. Definitely a labor of love!

My Love of Painting, Too!

One of my other crafting hobbies is painting murals and pictures. This is one I did for the boy my daughter babysits for. It is of Tidus from the video game Final Fantasy. I couldn't wait to give it to him, and he was really surprised by it.

I'll be sharing some of my other paintings with you from time to time. I hope you enjoy looking at them!
