drew let me paint the ceiling...

 cloudy day

 sunset

 starry night

sky mural

so my hub let me paint the ceiling on our bus! i am so excited! i knew i wanted to do a sky mural, but i am not an artist. i went for it anyway. i don't know how to blend paint very well, and with such a dry surface and hot weather the paint dried quickly. it ended up looking really fun and dreamy. i love it. 

supplies you will need:

-acrylic or house paint (blue, white, red, yellow)

-1" and 3" brushes

-sponge (for clouds)

-water

-paper towels

-paint tray

-mixing stick

-something pointy (for stars)

since it is so hot this summer i painted the ceiling in sections during the evening. i got a small glimpse of what michelangelo did in the sistine chapel- what a challenge! our bus is named sunset, so it will be fun sleeping under the sky every night when we travel. i even painted little constellations in the starry night portion, but good luck finding them- i hardly remember! 

next bus project on the list is staining the wood panels, re-doing the upholstery to a dark brown, and sewing brown plaid curtains! drew said it is just too girly in there now with all the colors, and i don't blame him. i plan on finishing it up this summer. it will be a sad day when sunset has to go into hibernation! so what do you think?
