Jenny’s Favorite Things

Tomorrow I will back talking about “My Voyage to Painting Murals, again.” Today I thought I would interject a fun little painting project. Earlier today I met with a potential client and wanted to refer her to my website to see this room but realized I hadn’t posted photos to my website yet.

Jenny was seven years old and she wasn’t crazy about her family’s upcoming move to their new home. Her mother called me to talk about a mural for Jenny’s new room, something to make her new space feel special. 

When I met with them I asked if I might speak with Jenny, alone. Her mother was fine with this. We chatted a bit and I asked Jenny what some of her favorite things were. She had no problem telling me that she liked daisies, blue birds, butterflies, fairies, turtles, mushrooms and pears.

My mind was going a mile a minute until she said, “pears”. Hmmmm, well we finished talking and off I went to do some sketching wondering how I was going to fit pears into the equation I had going on in my head.  

This is a portion of Jenny’s mural measuring ten feet tall and eight foot wide, total mural was about 16 feet wide. Did you see something totally different in your mind’s eye? Let me know what your thoughts are.
