So many of you have seen this in its various stages. A while back I got the painting bug. I decided to do some canvases which I posted on the blog earlier. With those turning out okay, I decided to get more adventurous and paint right on the wall. There was an empty wall in my master bedroom that I had wanted to do something with for a while. The problem was that it is our walkway around the bed and I didn't want something that would stick way out. So I decided to paint on it to add some more character to the room.
Here is the picture that I took the idea from:
Inspiration Art:
Then came the humble beginnings. With a pencil sketch and starting to paint:
Here it is almost done (without the darker outline):
And finally I finished it last week: (Total it took about 3 months of slowly working at it just 5 minutes here and there)
And here are some snaps up close of various parts:
So even though it seemed to take forever, I love it. It just adds more to the room. And of course I love to be able to say I did it myself!

I am very impressed. Love it A LOT. Can i copy that idea for my downstairs fam room? It has ugly rose carpet..i was thinking of paintng the walls chocolate brown and putting some kind of rose/cream decorative painting on them but didn't know exactly what. The large scale is wonderful.
