We decided to paint our bedroom in our first home and Ram gave me my freedom to explore with paints and ideas on 1 wall. We went bold and chose bright palm green for the other 3 walls (pretty shocking for some folks!) and I decided to paint a bamboo forest on my wall. As the twisty bamboos covered the wall, I added a dash of color through birds - 1 on one side and 2 on another. Not to mention that I was teased endlesslessly about making the 3rd bird look the other way while the 2 talked to each other on one side! No prize for guessing who the birds were likened to!
Interestingly some years later, when we were painting the rooms in our new home, I painted a tropical island with 2 elephants on one side with a baby elephant on another. I am very happy with the reflection effect on the water. I hurried through this one - spent totally about 3 hours from start to end and since it was a silhoutte, I did not have any detailing. On retrospect, I feel I should touch the elephants up esp. their backside.

Hi pushpa
Great blog. chosen the right path. Go ahead and pave through how far the pencil can stretch. To me the lone bird seems to be the leader (the north star)
Very soothing, except maybe for the blood red moon. You should do this on your garage door.
