the mural.

Still not quite finished, but the room is being reorganized and the bed will be underneath the tree. I have to wait to see what sort of space is left for additional woodland creatures and such.

The tree branches out from the corner across the main wall, and then this pond spills over onto the closet doors:

I left the doors of the closet white and just painted bits, in a children's-illustration-book sort of way. And I just noticed that the poor frog is missing an eye. (Quinn, I promise he'll be able to see the next time I'm there. Between the weeks of Scary Tree and the eyeless frog, I'm probably doing some kind of long-term emotional damage...) Above the pond are several floating cherry blossoms, one with a tiny fairy catching a ride. And the far corner is anchored by a small shrub with blue birds. At this point I can only see the mistakes, but hopefully it will all come together on my next visit.
