Paintings for Cliff Stu

I have been painting and painting lately, and waiting to get some time to paint my own pictures.  
I've had the canvas for Clifford's nursery prepped for weeks.  
Two days ago I got the first canvas done.  I hated it.  I promptly painted over it.  
I decided to go a different way and I'm so glad I did!

I picked out a fabric from his quilt and decided to paint him a room with many bugs and critters. 


They turned out great! 


I picked the snail


and the caterpillar.


I let Zac pick the third.  
He said lightening bugs and I think it was a great decision.


They made it up on to his wall a couple days ago.  
His walls are a kinda minty green color....like this shade I'd say...maybe a hair lighter. 
Deco Art Americana Acrylic Paint 2 Ounces-Mint Julep Green at Sears.com
Not at all the color they look in this picture.  
For some reason the color is really off.  


I swear, they look crooked as heck, but they aren't.  



  After my shower next weekend, I hope to have his nursery all done and will post up pictures of his room.  It is really coming along!
