Pregnant daughters request.

Oh I will be doing the mural as per their wishes. Pastel colours etc.
It is their house after all. If they don’t like it I can paint the wall back to white. All the paints are Matt and I will mix white in to soften the colours.

That looks stunning

Just paint the tree trunks and branches grey as they asked.

They are the ones who are going to be looking at it, after all.

I much prefer your original, but that is neither here nor there.

You sent them a draft and asked their opinion, so you can't really refuse to make the alterations they would like, can you?

And if you do, you risk offending your daugther and that could spoil your chances of having a good relationship with your grandchild.

Once again, thank you for the comments. I like the idea of having a bunny/creature peeking out from behind a tree?.
As this is the first wall mural I have ever done let’s wait and see what the results look like?
Would be delighted,Chewbacca, to do the original on your wall?.

M0ira if your heart is set on doing the mural in your original colours, I have the perfect wall for you to practice on! I'd be delighted to have that to look at every day.

What you have suggested is lovely and I would be delighted to have that on a wall.

I did wonder if a few more furry creatures low down (peeking from behind the trees etc) might be fun for the baby as she grows into a toddler?

p.s. later on you could add a Gruffalo!!

Goodness. How beautiful. How clever.

Beautiful

Thank you all?. I feel very flattered that you think the painting is nice. Today I have been practicing painting bunnies.

It looks great. Sorry I can't help with mural painting, I've never been brave enough to attempt anything that big. Hope it turns out really well!

M0ira That's lovely. How talented you are. I'm jealous

Its really beautiful....I haven't got an artistic bone in my body so wouldn't dream of giving tips

Moira - I so envy you ?

Lots of contemporary murals are quite stylised I feel. Maybe the grey will make it less naturalistic?

My goodness M0ira that is truly beautiful and what an envious talent you have. Lucky baby.

Possibly your daughter wants the tree trunks more subtly coloured and silver birch is a good suggestions by PinkCosmos

I was just about to suggest silver-birch trees too.

Me too @M0ira - your work is really lovely.

No tips from me either but want to say I absolutely love it Moira . You’re very talented.

Sorry, no tips I'm afraid!

Just wanted to say how gorgeous your work is, MOira

I wish I was as talented as you Moira.

I suspect they want the grey as it will match the room better.

As PECS said, could you do silver birch trees rather than 'regular' trees. They have lovely white and grey trunks.

Image not my painting, just something of the interweb!

That’s wonderful Moira if they want grey, grey it is.
I think you’ll make an excellent mural, please post a picture of it when done.

I would love to have that in my house and see it every day. I love bunnies. Second childhood perhaps!

Looks wonderful. Perhaps grey goes better with the rest of the room and cot? Anyway what a lovely thing to be asked to do.
