MY FIRST (AND ONLY SO FAR) MURAL

When we adopted our son back in January of 1987, I painted his room a pale blue and then painted children on it from the Joan Walsh Anglund books. The books are only 4" x 6" so very small illustrations to draw from.  Here are 2 illustrations from the books I used to create part of the mural.

 

Here are photos of the mural I created across the walls and closet doors.

The colors are not the best since from 1987 photos.

 

I painted a boy flying a kite as his cat looks on.  You can see the bowl of soap bubbles another blows.

I used the idea of the illustration above.

Creating the bubbles was quite the feat! 

This little boy sat on a rock reading a book. His shirt and hat were really a pale green.

 This little boy was picking apples from a tree. The tree was green.

 

One of her books was about a little boy who dressed as a cowboy.

 I drew this from an illustration in that book.

 

This one was inspired by one of the illustrations I showed above. 

They are painted on the closet doors.

 My son would love to "chat" with the friends on the walls of his room!
