Adding One To The List...

The city of Philadelphia has more city-sanctioned public murals than any other municipality in the world.

If you slow down long enough to take a look around it really can be a beautiful piece of the city backdrop. And, while this one won't be public, you can look forward to one more mural within the city limits very soon...

...our son's bedroom.

I decided a while ago I wanted to do this but hadn't decided on a "theme" until a few weeks ago.

Because that's what little boys are made of!

Once I had a sketch and a plan it was time to put pencil to wall. (I apologize for the quality of these photos, but pencil on a khaki-colored wall doesn't really show up all that well.)

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present Freddie the Frog...

Sally the Snail...

And Harry the Hound-Dog...

Each of these little guys is about 2 foot square; givng me a 2' x 6' finished product. I plan on doing a pictoral "slide-show" of painted progress on this little project in the next few weeks, as I promised the Mommy-to-be a completed room by the end of the month- a.k.a. 36 weeks. (You know, just in case...)

Stay tuned...
