another masterpiece by Rachel and Kaycee

My very talented friend Rachel came for a visit and as always brought her tools of the trade with her. She had me order a huge roll of canvas from an art supply store and we let the girls come up with the concept. They chose to have a mermaid mural. We were going to put it in the play room, but there wasn't a big enough wall. So it's in the entryway! Here's how it started:
Rachel would have me paint in the solid shapes, then she would bring them to life with shading and details.
I am extremely art challenged, but Rachel is a good patient teacher and before long I was doing some detail and shading work too.
The finished product...
Thanks Rachel, you are amazing!


To see some more of Rachel's work, visit her website. We have done two other murals together. You can see them in her mural gallery - Veda is pictured with her jungle mural. Eve's mural was the one with huge pink flowers.
