Birch Trees with Blue Leaves

Here is my most recent painting project. Okay, so not this exact picture, but this is what I copied to put on Will's nursery wall. I'm doing an Alaskaney woodsy sort of theme and found these trees on wallwords.com. Well, they wanted 95.00 and I said nah, I'll just paint it myself.

I really mulled over whether I should even show you the actual website's photo since it looks a titch classier then mine, but you get the idea. I basically looked at the picture above, same size and all since it wouldn't enlarge, and sketched it as best as I could on the wall. Then, Ad and I had a little painting party painting the trees white and the next day I made them a little "birchier" by adding some off white paint on top of the bright white and painted some black eyes on them.

I added some blue leaves to tie in the bedding. Let the kid have some imagination I say. :)This is a picture of the bedding I bought off of Craigslist. It's just a stock photo since Greta is still using the crib. We'll put the crib right in between the two trees.
