Alma's Lavender Fields - Mural Commissioned July 2012

This was a really fun mural commission. The mural took a total of 2 hours prep and 9 1/2 hours to paint. I would do it again in a heartbeat! If only I got to do this everyday, I'd be in paradise! Okay, I am in paradise - I get to do this for a living. Who can complain?

Before

LAVANDIA

LAVANDIA - Tonight I am very ill. I am completely pooped out and really didn't feel much like painting. I kept thinking.. sleep... sleep.. that is what I need. Then I thought, did anyone get anywhere at all by deciding not to do something just because they didn't feel like it? Well, feel like it or not, I am painting tonight.

Introducing the faerie of peaceful sleep, Lavandia. Could it be Lavandia telling me to rest or my exhausted body? Perhaps I will tell the story about when I first saw Lavandia curled up on the fragrant blossoms of a Lavender plant later. For now, enjoy her peaceful sleep, and you, get some good rest tonight.

Swine flu is making its way through my body and I know I could use some essential oils from the Lavender plant. s l e e p i s g o o d. Night Night!
