Things have been so incredibly busy here with birthdays, parties, visitors, and school stuff, that I haven't had a chance lately to work on our Family Tree mural. I was able to pick up the brush today and do a little more work on it. It's coming along!
I need to work a bit on the right side, which represents spring. Once the tree is finished, we can work on adding framed photographs to the wall.

Gorgeous!! What a beautiful idea!
That looks awesome! I've been wanting to do a tree on our livingroom wall for a while now too...but I'm scared It will look sloppy. Yours is so perfect! I'm impressed. How did you begin? Did you draw it out first?
A little risky, but here was my method:
I began with the trunk. There was no sketch or "plan" in place. I started at the base and worked toward the sky. Very much in the same way a tree will grow.
The leaves were all done one at a time by drawing shades of green, then gold, then later red from a "palette" which is actually only a large yogurt lid. Nothin' fancy!
You CAN do this. Remember, it's only paint. If it doesn't turn out well the first time, apply primer and start again.
