Adults With Painting and Decorating Experience Wanted or Winter Project #1



 
This is what it looks like when a very interesting 9-10 year old gets to create the look for his personal space.


This is what it looks like when grown-ups with lots of painting experience and some sense of aesthetics and who love that interesting 10 year old very much get involved.  This was part of M's birthday present when he turned 11 this year.   

M has always been into nature and nature stuff so why not a small mural of a tree and a picture of the Tetons and some new nature-inspired colors?  What you can't see in this picture of the tree are the small white dots of glow in the dark paint which are luminescent when the lights are off reminiscent of Lehi's description of the fruit of the Tree of Life.




M has done a great job of keeping his new space clean.  Kids can be well - let's just say "not-so-neat" at times.  Yet, they love it when the space they occupy is clean and orderly.  Now if we could just get everyone on board with the rest of our space.
