Hand painted Lanai Wall
Ok, let's get this out of the way first
I LOVE this WALL ! ! !
Wish I had a bigger font.
How the Wall was Painted
Shadows added to all flowers
My Original photograph that started this all.
Added the green as leaves in the background.
The light in the lanai changes all day long, I can look
at the wall and it has changed, happy dance.
Photo..........Wall !

Painting our Lanai Wall
I've been having a ball with my new painting project.
With my plan, it didn't take long to mark it out the flowers on the wall. I did the painting over the stucco as it was. Knowing what I know how, I would have the guy come and smooth it all out. Next time.
I tried to do the lines soft, but they had to be heavy to see.
(Disclaimer: Husband wants me to tell you all,
this is a huge project and
there is a bit of art to doing this, it may not be for all to try)
It's paint, try it !
First flower outlined, my first time off the ladder, I could not stop smiling, a bit of happy dancing too.
Husband's not been very excited about this project. Like the flower pots at the front door I say, "tell them (assoc) to talk to me," no one has, I think they are scared of me...And, I like that.
Yes, I used a one inch paint brush
I was worried the paint (quart) would not be enough,
more than enough paint.
About 2 days of drying.
Then building the shadows on each flower.
I'll keep painting !
Check back !

I have an IDEA to paint our condo lanai wall
OK, I love to decorate and I've decided to do the wall in our lanai. This is the wall, I like the canvas...... BUT, it needs to fill the entire wall. So, off to pinterest I go, my boards are here, if you would like to follow me
This is the wall BEFORE,
notice my orchids are blooming again
And look what I found, I LOVE it, Now... I know, mine will NEVER be this detailed, good and or WOW,
but it's paint and here I go a planning !
Here is Diana Watson's site
I measured the wall, took a picture and started planning everything out.
The Canvas picture is one of my photo's, and of course I have MANY on my computer.
Colored pencils out, colors planned.
A trip to Lowe's and I have my background color (see left side), I went with, Valspar Signature Paint, a flat interior
Mark Twain Gray Brick, not a paid advertisement, but should be,
I can do it and if I like it?
Don't like it, I paint the wall all Mark Twain Gray Brick and re-hang the picture.
Off to start drawing it out on the wall and get the basic gray on, let the fun begin
