Ceiling mural for 9 yr old cub scout with a bald eagle (aspiring Eagle Scout) flying overhead and a glow in the dark night scene with galaxies, planets, comets, satellites, cosmic clouds and countless stars.  (I can't get a good picture of the night scene with my camera, but it looks similar to the one below I found on the web.)

Ruthie, the Lilith Fair critic...

Ruthie was asleep on Asia's lap while she was listening to the Lilith Fair contestants when a particular song came on that made Ruthie raise her head and growl at the computer. When it stopped she let out a huge sigh and went back to sleep! Thankfully, it wasn't mine.  ;)  Ruthie always lays at my feet when I play here at home, but I didn't know she actually had an opinion!

I guess I'll pay closer attention to her when I'm writing from now on.

Garden Tender trailer gate

A simple but attractive business sign on a working trailer for the Garden Tender.

Before

After

3 divided by 2 = ?

I've had a conversation rolling around in my head for the last few days/nights. Trying to find a conclusive answer to this question that, unbelievably, has been affecting my life for much too long a time. There is, of course, a very precise and indisputable answer... its just somehow not agreeable to everyone.

room make over for sisters

A complete room makeover for two teenage sisters that share a room. They both assisted in painting the green base color and then were locked out until the 'revealing'. Included in the makeover was finding them each a thrift store desk and chair for their own study areas & whitewashing the furniture. The ceiling opens up to a sky scene above each of their beds and at night the same area is a glow in the dark starlit sky. (I couldn't get a picture of the night scene on my camera but it is similar to the one below I found on the web. I'd give credit to the artist if I knew who they were.) 

Kitchen Ivy

Here in the NW ivy is an invasive plant that I have to pull to save my garden and have allergic reactions to while doing so. With that in mind I don't always appreciate how beautiful it can be... elsewhere. This is a kitchen in Alaska (where the ivy doesn't grow) that I painted with ivy details and the poem "Afternoon On A Hill" by Edna St. Vincent Millay painted freehand along the back wall above the cabinets. My apologies for the poor picture quality.

Tree ceiling

An 8' x 10' room to sit below the trees as they change seasons around each corner.
