Painting the bears was so fun, I googled more about how to paint murals. One webpage suggested using a picture from online, and tracing it onto the wall. So I went looking. This is the clipart image I found online. It was easy enough that I could paint it. I can't freehand anything, or do shading or anything complicated. Pretty much, I was looking for an image that looked like a paint-by-number.
Here's the blank wall behind Ben.
Dirk used his projector to blow up the image and put it on the wall. Makae and I traced it, and then started painting. It was like a coloring book page.
This is when it's almost finished.
And here's the final product!

Very cool!!!!! You are so creative! You did a great job!!!!!
It looks wonderful - what a great idea!!! Makae didn't tell me she and you got creative!
I am impressed! I do not have talent to paint like that at all...therefore the vinyl dots on the nursery wall. ;)
you left out the flower and the story about the green dirt ;].
The green dirt and the flower that Makae talked about were my mistakes. The first paint I put on the wall was green, and I put it where the dirt was supposed to be. Fortunately, the paint is so opaque that you can't tell I had to paint over something.
And the flower was another attempt to paint on the wall. It didn't turn out cute, so there's no picture.
Good job - I am impressed. About all I've ever dared paint on the wall is splotches (as with feather dusters etc.)
It turned out great...my only question is now that the boys have watched mama (and cousin Makae) 'coloring' on the walls...how are you going to tell they they CAN'T??
Wow! You are so talented! I am dying to do a mural in my playroom. I just don't dare do it! Both of yours turned out great!
Incredible!!! Both walls look adorable!! Check you out, developing new talents!!
psh! the flower was awesome, you just won't admit it! and by the way Melinda, GREEN DIRT!!! ha ha ha ha ha!!!
