Yes the cell phone picture sucks, but this is the BEFORE picture.... I think it can suck. My room was red and brown, white black and white photos. Hectic, busy, dark, and cluttered. The collage above my bed I made back in high school. I was just tired of it.
My room has one window. ONE! It was so dark in there and the paint color did not help. I had to brighten it up.
This tree I hand sketched from looking at other tree pictures. I wanted it to seem like wind may be going through it.
I got so into the painting I forgot to take more in between pictures. Here the petals are already on the tree.
I used these as my stencils. This is plexi-glass from those cheap poster frames. I was lucky that my mom had the random tool of a stencil cutter. Really? I don't think it has ever been used before. Well good luck for me. I didn't have to hand draw all those petals. I still sucked at the stenciling part though. It required a second coat and touch-ups.
It is done!!!! My bed was moved to the other wall. The branches go right over my bed and petals blow onto the adjacent wall, also above my bed. I am in love! I have other things to get done, like my bed and window treatments. But for now I am happy!

I love it! I'm really into trees now and the petals are great!
Looks so much better than those vinyl trees and I bet it was a lot less expensive as well! Well done!

Your pic automatically caught my eye at RoCa and Co. This is beautiful. I was going to just pin up Christmas lights in a tree form on my son's wall but then I saw this. Too bad I can't hire you to paint it for me because I think if I paint it might look like a Jackson Pollock.
I'm a new follower. Would love it if you followed back.
oops. I'm at http://scrappysugargirl.blogspot.com/
