Bubbles, you're not helping.......no sharks, no mermaids. What will you be suggesting next? The Loch Ness Monster? Confused Hilarious!

Susan, thank you. Now there's a comment I can tell my husband about.

Robin, my son is a serious artist. He usually takes a month or more to do a picture. He's a perfectionist. His work looks more like this.......

I'll take whatever help I can get. Especially now that my hands aren't as steady as they used to be.

Beautiful work Nancy.

My sister-in-law does murals as does her daughter. Their talent amazes me. The basement of her home is a replica of the Cincinnati Zoo. She did it when her grandchildren were very young.

My niece has been hired and flown all around the country to do her mural work.

I have no photos of their work though. Sad

Talent like your husband and son are so amazing. Definitely a gift!! Thumbs up Thumbs up

Wow, Vic! I really do wish you could show us that basement! I'll bet it is awesome. Are the animals cartoonish or exact?

Quietyard, thank you. Yes, I agree about the flowers looking better than on the white wall. I never realized that before.

Okay, no shark, no mermaid, nothing but lovely waves and rocks!~ Thumbs up Nancy, your son is amazingly talented!!! Love the football player especially. He is a patient man.

Susan, glad you joined us here.

Unlike moi...I like murals since they are fast and easy. (thanks for the plug Big Grin )

Vic, I'd love to see that basement too. Hurray!

I welcome the positive comments, but not as much as my husband does because the whole project was his idea alone!
