This is the room before any painting			trim for sky ž of the way down the wall	sponged faded blue to greens rest of the way; added clouds; began house & tree trunk
6.	7.		8.	9.
added shingles	added branches		first dark leaves	decided leaves 1 by 1 too much! sponged dark mass of leaves
So far, the work above took about six days. Photos continue below.

here's a little closer of the bougainvillea wall and the light blue flowering bushes, cypress & eucalyptus trees		up to the window where the tree matches the fichus trees outside		here, the fichus trees continue above the windows (nighttime view)	here's the other end of windows in the daylight... (built-ins will go below)

close-up of a blue butterfly		here is a monarch butterfly as well, above the blue one		here's the golf course close-up; see enlarged...you might see the family of ducks in the pond
Now let's go back to the TREEHOUSE...moving to the right... ...and see all the new SURPRISES around the room:
28.	29.	30.		31.	32.
clients asked, "Why a blue door?" answer: "I love blue doors!"	continuing to right, a path leading to a castle	here it goes, over the bridge, to "lightswitch castle "		close-up of foreground of path & fern	ladybug on the fern
33.		34.		35.
here the stream and scenery continues to the right of door		a brighter view		more close up, where the little boy himself is doing a cartwheel This added wall truly opened up the room!
36.	37.	38.		39.
here he is with the stream and egrets in the background	here is a real close-up...he's wearing his gymnastics suit	here's the full tree on this wall - the tree alone took one day		here's this tree all the way to the window...you can see that under the window is just un-refined sponging of the greens, as this will be covered with built-ins
40.		41.		42.	43.
here's the stream in the background, with a better view of the egrets		here's the base of the tree, 2 doves, 2 dragonflies, and a snail		here's a close-up of the snail and some ferns	here are the two doves, and above is their nest with two eggs
...And last but not least, My very favorite close-up of all: the Two Doves...				44.
If you zoom in on the last photo, you can really see the wall texture and curvature. Because it's a little boy's room, the entire wall is sealed over with "Polycrylic" - a water-soluble crystal-clear coating made by 'Min-Wax', that will not yellow. This whole mural took 16 days of work...a couple of 12-14-hour days, but otherwise 8-Hrs.
