Pregnant daughters request.

The image is of the water colour painting I did to give her a few ideas.

How amazing! I wish I could do that. You’re so clever. I wouldn’t want the trees to be grey, trees are green!

the leaves are green, the trunks and branches are usually greyish

Wow! No advise - I just wanted to say that looks beautiful and you have a wonderful talent!

You have a rare talent.
My Godfather used to do the same on commission. There's a cottage industry for you.

I have no tips to offer but wanted to say how lovely that is...

How lovely! A fabulous talent.

I suspect your DD & SiL re trying to keep the room " calm" so want subdued colours, which I can understand.

Whilst you delightful watercolour is not bright maybe they are worried emulsion/ eggshell may show up as brighter, especially on a larger scale. I would just go with what they are asking..mayvalso reduce cost if fewer colours are needed.

It is going to look amazing , even if your trees end up silver birch rather than beech trees!

That is absolutely beautiful, what a talent you have!

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

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

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 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!

Sorry, no tips I'm afraid!

Just wanted to say how gorgeous your work is, MOira

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

Me too @M0ira - your work is really lovely.

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

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

Something like this maybe?

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

Moira - I so envy you ?

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

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

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!
