It's been a while - getting pregnant and having a baby sort of threw me off my artist game. While I haven't been broadcasting, I have been working where and when I can. The big pregnancy project was the nursery mural.
Maurice Sendak has an interesting illustration style - it's rough, emotional, jagged and yet still fluid. I learned this by trying to mimic his pen strokes with a brush. I did okay, but leave it to the master to come up with such an interesting landscape.
Acrylic on white walls. Max is about 4'x4', the monster is about 5'x7' and the forest is a wrap-around landscape about 10'x15'. It took all my paint! Wore down my brushes and I spent about five, eight hour days on it. As we're entering toddlerhood, my daughter has begun pointing and talking about it.
Want a nursery mural? Pick your images and I'll put in on the wall free-hand. $35/hr plus cost of supplies.
