So Hi again,

I am finally putting up the cutest pictures of a mural for a sister and baby brother... so darn cute! Here's the story; Momma was due in a bit and needed to move big sis out of her room to make room for baby brother on the way! But... sis had the cutest mural in her room of a bathing girl at the beach. Really nicely done, but not by me :) Mom wanted the little girl changed to a little boy. "Clould that be done?"

"Sure" (my usual response) then I go about figuring out how to do it. It turned out great and fun as you can see and I didn't have to change too much of the mural which was so nicely done. Really fun projects and sis loved her new mural in her new room. "Sea Turtles!" was her new favorite thing and what a doll SHE was!

Ta ta for now!

White metal doors changed to "mahogany"

Well the latest new and different thing I've done is turning white fiberglass doors into wood-looking beauties. I've done several, and the results are quite beautifull. The clients were very happy. This did require 3 coats of different collored gel stain and a uv protectd clear coat on top.

So this mural is in a mission style house and as you walk in the mural creates a wonderful balance and a counterpoint to the beatiful picture window overlooking the city.

So how is everyone? I just finished a mural above a fireplace (wrapped around). It was a rendition of the San Miguel Mission. I really enjoyed this and it went well as I had done the appropriate work ahead of time. This mural is in a beautiful home overlooking Paso Robles, Ca.

There's one. This is the label that goes on the thank you gifts that I've started sending out. They go on 2 pouches of gourmet coffee from Jax Coffee House in Paso Robles. So thanks for reading. Look for more pictures as I get the hang of this and be sure and visit my web site karenscustompainting.com
