The Paint Splash

Pink so many shades, too few walls!

I am SO honored to be chosen to be featured this week on 
Beverly's PINK Saturday blog party! 
Thank you Beverly!!!
Make sure you go and check out all the other great pink posts!

I am an artist that owned my own business, DD Designs, painting murals.  
Because of Degenerative Arthritis in my spine and hip, I have not been working for over two years.   I received a call from a mom of a teen a couple of weeks ago who wanted to have her room painted for her birthday. 

 I decided I would try... 

hummm 
hurting neck, 
hurting hip, 
hurting back.  

Guess it wasn't such a great idea. 

I did enjoy the interaction with the client 

and love the finished product.

Here are pictures of the finished room.

Stripes and circles in 

pink, green and purple.
They say pink is a calming color, 
I don't think they were thinking 
of this shade!

if you want to paint stripes without the paint bleeding paint your background color (for this wall it was the pink).  After using a level to tape off the stripes repaint over the background color along the tape.  When, not if, the paint bleeds, the background color will bleed, sealing the tape and you get an awesome straight line!  Thank you HGTV!

The canvas above is 4x 2 1/2.  
The 14 year old wanted paint splashes 
on this pink wall 
but I talked her into a painting, 
splashes are SOOOOO hard to cover up that you have to sand the wall first. 


I hope you enjoyed todays 
BRIGHT Pink.  
I have other rooms I have painted on my older posts. If you have the time, check them out.
Have a blessed week! Debbie
