custom wall painting!
I had sooo much fun painting over the weekend! Little 8 week old Connor is so cute and his parents, Jenn & Mike (and Mike's parents were in town, too!) were so great to be around all weekend! I even got a yummy home cooked meal on Saturday night!I had a great time mixing the paint, often mixing for awhile before getting the color where I wanted it and then once I did loving it even more once it hit the canvas. It was great! I had my little iPod and Altec Lansing Speakers keeping me company - which was SOO excellent. I was singing and having the best time in my own little painting jungle animals world.
I normally paint right on the walls, but they're renting - so they asked if I could do it on canvas. So I bought this big roll of canvas that we cut into 2 separate canvas' and then for mounting they bought rods to hang on the top & bottom, like a scroll. The monkey's go over the crib, so the pink monkey is looking lovingly at the baby sleeping. :)
Another wall they have in room is a big long diagonal wall, that they can't do much with really, so I painted a big giraffe on the 2nd canvas to take up the entire wall!
They are thrilled with the results, and so am I... painting is so different from the web where you can keep making changes (undo, undo!)... So it's quite zen to make decisions painting and have it be relatively permanent. It's exciting really! I had fun and I can't wait to paint some more!
Here's a whole album of where I painted, and some more shots of the blank canvas' and finished work.
UPDATE: See next post with photos of the paintings hung in the nursery!
