Fabulous Family Project

Following on from my last post (of rummaging through old photos etc), I found these pictures of my biggest painting I did about 6 years ago. A dear friend commissioned me to do a painting with her children to fill a blank wall. I nearly died when I first saw the canvas - it was HUGE but it so much FUN!!

I first designed the layout of the painting which was filled with everything the kids loved and what was special to them. There were robots, glittery shoes, pigs; even fried eggs! We then all got together and painted. I think the whole project took 2 days which isn't bad. This is a great thing to do with your kids/ family for the holidays and as well, you get something to treasure!

The work in progress...

We take this job very seriously LOL!

Robots with Mother Earth and floating boats.

I wanted the painting to still look 'good' so we added lots of texture



It was a mammoth job

Voila!
