Project!

So, I'm pretty broke right now and even though I moved into my house in July, I haven't had the funds to replace the broken window. I've had the idea to paint a mural on it or something for sometime now, but I've been putting it off for things like: school, work, sleep, laziness, etc. Well, it's a long weekend for me and my idea has been on my mind more often and that is always a good sign that I need to do it, so I did!

Here is what I did:
 First I had to paint my base sky.
Then I painted my clouds. I watched a tutorial on how to paint clouds...I think they turned out pretty great!

 Then I added my balloon...

Then I added some depth and contrast...

Last but not least I gave my balloon a string!! I think it looks pretty good, what do you think?

Over all, I'm pretty excited about my new window, it was inspired by my book I wrote...some day I will publish it and you will know what it all means. :}

Ashley,
I LOVE it! Now is this seen from the outside or the inside of your house? I think it is adorable and very well done.
