Art for Lucy's Room: 1 of 4

I bought 4 canvases a while ago for some art projects that were unrelated to the nursery.  The inspiration for these canvases was short-lived, which turned out to be advantageous since it made them available for Lucy's room!



I painted each canvas the same color as the wall above the chair rail (light green). Several people have asked why... and the answer is that I saw it on somebody else's blog (can't remember who now), and I thought it looked nice.



So I started there.  I purchased several different colors/styles of scrapbook paper in the colors of Lucy's bedding (Cocalo "Sophie") and started experimenting.



Here is the result of my efforts on the first canvas (1 of 4).




I was really pleased with how it came out, until Daniel referred to the birds as "amoebic characters," pointing out that birds have beaks and wings.

He did have a point.



So this is the "tweaked" and final version of the first canvas.   I've started the 2nd canvas and will post when it's finished.
