I have been a busy little bee the last two nights.
HELLO DOLL is a new boutique that is just getting ready to open it’s doors this week. I was commissioned by the owner to create this 5′ X 7′ canvas painting to display on one of the stores main walls. Being the procrastinator that I am, I left it to the last minute to get this thing complete. I tacked up the loose primed canvas onto one the walls in our house (the empty nursery made for a perfect spot) and sketched out the illustration large scale before pulling out my paints. Several hours and an achy back later, here is what I made. I had a lot of fun with it. It’s nice to “go big” every now and then, although I plan on taking a pass on any more projects like this until after the baby comes because…well….it is belly’s turn to “go big”. Thanks Lynna for the opportunity!
If you live in or near Alpine, check out Lynna’s new boutique, “Hello Doll”.
It is located at 2733 Alpine Blvd, Alpine CA.

If you’ll pack away the paints for belly to go big, does that mean no murals in the nursery?
ahhh good question Christine! I just might unpack them for that purpose ;) But haven’t quite decided yet on my vision for the room! So many options!

This is sooo gorgeous. Actually, it would make an amazing tattoo!

Also, this made me think, are you going to do any custom painting in your nursery?
I’m not sure Carly! I have definitely thought about it, but I think I will be able to visualize it a little better once I have it “put together” a little more. Right now I’m working on very little! Time to get moving!
Jaw dropping + stunning!!!
ooohww i love it!! :))
