Progression of a mural painting:

My husband and I started painting at 9:00 pm with an air brush, a paint brush and a sponge 1st we projected it on the wall, then chalked on the outline, then Shelby outlined it in black with the air gun.

Here is the progression of painting:

Part way there.

  There are no pictures of me on the ladder, but I really did get up there!

Painting with a crappy brush.

Over half way there...

Sponging paint on.

I even got brave and used the air brush! (Tools and me don't get along, lol!)

Shelby, armed with an air brush!

Shelby gets up on ladders all the time, this is nothing to him.

Done at 3:00 am! *yawn*

Our baby Shaylee was so good, she slept through most of it - even the noisy air compressor!
