HAND PAINTING ARTWORK ~ A TREE, A BIRD'S NEST & BLUE SKY FOR MADDIE'S ROOM
This is the second time I painted Maddie's bedroom. The first time was just before she was born. This time I think she was five. She loved pink! She and her mom knew the colors and artwork they wanted and how they wanted to decorate. So, I painted her walls pink. In one corner of her room I painted a large pink crepe myrtle tree and a bird's nest in the tree.
I painted her ceiling blue with clouds and pink sparkly birds.
Over her bed I painted an arch and a big sparkly bow.
This room was sooo cute and happy! But, a few years later I had to paint over everything for her next, big girl room.
Through the years I've had to paint over a lot of my artwork. Thank goodness I take lots of pictures. It's always fun to go back and look at older pictures.

SO pretty. I love the fairies. It would be hard to paint over! I am glad you get photos!

Thank you! It was hard at first, but I'm used to it, now.
ReplyDeleteI;m glad you got photos too. What a beautiful room for the little girl, brilliant job, love your work...
ReplyDeleteSo sad when a little one outgrows the artwork in her room. I am sure the fairies are still watching over her. At least you had the photographs!
ReplyDeleteYes! and, I bet the fairies are watching over her.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! How sad that you had to paint over it only after a year. I hope the new room has some new artwork in it too :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! She kept this artwork for 5 or 6 years.
DeleteThis was such a cute room, Lynda. I love the fairies and their fairy dust. Magical!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Her mommy loved the fairies, too!
ReplyDeleteJust Beautiful!!! You did a fantastic job with this room! =D

DeleteMadi's little girl room is so charming! I'm sure her grown up room is equally spectacular.

ReplyDeleteThat was nice. My sister and I did a tree in her family room also. We used stencils but I see that you painted freehand. Nice work. If you want to see the tree my sister and I painted with birds in it. Linda
