Painting for Hattie

Many moons ago I began a mural for a good friend of ours who has a 2 year old little girl. It has been the most painting I have done in about a year and a half, and really made me miss doing it. The bumpy plaster wall was hard to work with, but I managed to give them something decent. Still only 90% finished. There are a few more bugs (caterpillars, worms, etc) that need to be put in, as well as finishing up the bird feeder and a bean pole that remains just an outline. The painting is of their side yard with their vegetable garden and their favorite magnolia tree. And of course, since we live in Asheville we needed some blue mountains! It has been neat seeing Hatties reaction to it. She likes to play tea party and puts the tea cup up to all of the animals mouths so they can drink. Which reminds me, I need to put a clear coat of something over it so its easily washable. Here are some pictures! I will post another picture of it when its completely finished.
