Ocean themed baby room

I found out I am pregnant with a little boy and due this summer. I have painted a mural covering his walls with anatomically correct coral reef fish, including my favorite, the panther grouper!
I chose to do an ocean themed baby room because I thought the blue would be calming and the fish would provide a lot of stimulation. Contradictory effects? Maybe. My husband loved helping me pick the fish. We chose to incorporate clown fish, blue tang, yellow tang, pennant angels, panther grouper, blue sea stars, urchins and sea horses. I am in the process of creating a fish mobile out of model magic. Will post when I finish. My 22 month old daughter loves the "fish room."

In Memory of a Father

The beginning of this year my childhood best friend lost her father. This painting is a memorial to her wonderful father, Mr. T-bone. It incorporates photographs, patches he helped her earn in brownies and some of his military patches. I love you Manda!!!
