Well I just wrapped up a really fun project, a Winnie the Pooh mural for a twins nursery in Maryland. If you haven't seen much of my other mural work, it's because I really don't paint walls very often since I'm an oil painter by trade. That said, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to paint this large scale mural. It scales three walls, with the name of each baby on the fourth wall over their cribs.
We decided on a classic Pooh theme, and connected the three walls to make it feel like one large scene with the oak tree in the middle. Above you can see Pooh being pulled out of Rabbit's House.
Here is a close up of the scene!
On the far wall, Roo hangs out with some butterflies. Like most commissions, it was really fun, and painting that large was a great challenge, in addition to painting in acrylic as opposed to oil. Acrylic dries very fast, so shading can be really tough sometimes. I'm used to putting paint on canvas and being able to play with it for days!
So what do you think?! I would love to hear it!
Hope everyone is having a great week and enjoying this gorgeous weather! Ahhhhh I breathe a sigh of relief when I see the first Spring blossoms!!!!
