New Wall Mural

 Here in Colorado with the wonderful Anderson family, starting a new mural in their living room!

In 2010 I did a single tree on their living room wall, which they really liked. It was brown with green leaves, and had four little birdies representing the four of them in their family. Last year they moved to a new and bigger family home, leaving that little tree behind, so we decided to do a new and updated version of the Anderson family mural!

The wall they wanted to change had old 60's wallpaper covering it, and wasn't quite the style they wanted.

 So we decided to strip it and add an updated color. I gave them a few options of ideas for the wall, deciding on more designed white silhouette trees, and now five little animals instead of four, as they had another baby boy!

 They decided to go with a light sea foam blue and five flying birdies.

 First off, stripping the wallpaper!

 Revealing the even older green paint underneath.

 And a huge amount of patching to get the wall back to flat after years of glue damage.

 And here we have it! A beautiful updated sea foam blue. I love this color! All ready to start blocking in forms for the trees today!

And what I'm listening to as I work today-
