Joanna's Fairy Mural







This was one of my first murals that I painted a few years ago. I painted it for my niece, Joanna, while the whole family was on vacation for a week... Jo wanted fairies and butterflies - and so we looked at the ol' Flower Fairies by Cicely Mary Barker, and I painted a few of those in her room. The main painting was over Joanna's crib (she's now a big girl, with a big girl bed) and then the three remaining fairies were painted on the side wall, in sort of a Triptych painting.. Anyway.. it was fun to do, they were happy with all of the paintings, and it was a great experience for me to try out the idea of painting a mural.
