A beautiful TREE!!


Here is the tree....I think it's cool how we made it go up to the ceiling.


Another shot of the tree.

This is the branch Jenni told me to thicken


I did that branch that goes to the other wall. I'm quite proud of myself.

More leaves that I'm proud of

Jenni was in town last week and we spontaneously decided to paint a tree on Tyler's wall. I've always thought it would be cool to do something like that, but I didn't have the confidence because I'm not as artistic as Jenni is. I do have to say that I did do quite a lot of the tree and Jenni was my art director. She told me where to thicken a branch, where to add more leaves, and when to change colors. She helped me shadow a few lines and she also drew a beautiful frog in a bikini. I thought it was pretty funny. She also drew the dragonflies. I know I wouldn't have painted this tree without Jenni's help. I really appreciate that she took the time to help me with my project. It looks really good. Tyler loves it. He runs over to it pretty much every morning and pats it. He calls it an "eeeee." It's cute. He can even point out the frog, rocks, and dragonflies. He's so cute with it. I think it scared him the first night, but he has definatley grown attached to it now. A funny story, I had the paintbrush we used drying out on the bathroom counter and Tyler took it and ran to his TREE and pretended to paint on the wall. He was so proud of himself when I clapped and told him what a beautiful tree he had drawn. He sure is a cute boy. So, if any of you want a tree on your wall, just give me a call. I'll be happy to paint on your wall. I'm a painter now.

  1. Nice tree! It's all the different colors and shading on the branches that make it look so good. I would have only used one color and it would have looked lame! Way to go for having such talent (and talented help too!)
