Nolan's Rainforest Mural

Final View
This is a wall mural I painted for my new Grandson, Nolan James Bray,
born May 9, 2005. It is eight feet wide, four feet high, and took me a week to complete.
I hope as Nolan grows he will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed painting it for him. I also hope you enjoy viewing it. Please E-mail any comments to me at ajsj098@comcast.net.

Day One
This house was built in the 1950's, and all the walls have a gravel-like texture to them. This texture made re-painting difficult, at best.
