The Mural

When I was 2 years old my parents were quite dismayed to find that one day I had decorated their walls with a green crayon. Ever since then I have yearned to draw/paint on walls. At last! I was able to fulfill my artistic desires by painting a mural on the nursery wall above Bean's crib. Here are some photos of the mural taking shape...

The Pencil Sketch

The Moon

He's got legs and a tail!

And Arms!

What a smile!

His lightening bug friend

And a starry, starry sky (The stars are going to glow in the dark!)

Here's the original picture I copied...
I think the mouse and his lightening bug friend need names - any suggestions?

Christy- I am reminded when you surprised me and painted/wrote on my wall in the Peace Corps. You are so talented, and your baby will be so lucky to look at his mama's handywork all the time. Caroline has just started getting interested in her mural- I only wish I had the talent to paint it myself :)
