About the Sun

  Yep.  I made the sun.   No silly not the real one.  Trust me.  If I was that good I am sure I would be doing much better for myself than I am...   I'm talking about the one hanging in Annie's room.    

    This was one thing I envisioned with my original nursery plan and still went with it.  I am so glad I did too because I LOVe it.  It could not of turned out any better.   Inspiration?     

    I did a spin on this image but I wanted a piece that felt rustic and without the words.   So, what did I do?    First, the Mr. put together some barn boards (real ones too from the family farm) and created a canvas for me to work on.    

    Using chalk I traced out the sun image.   I erased it many times too until I finally drew one I was very happy with.    

    I then painted in the sun with yellow paint I already had on hand.  I just used regular old enamel wall paint and it went on with no prob.    

    Wow, I did such a good job, didn't I?
 I LOVe how the wood shows thru the paint.  It adds to the charm!  And the imperfect edges.  Hmm I know.  A masterpiece :)    

    What do you think?     Please, please, please let me know.  I miss hearing from you all!   Would you have done anything different?
