Silena had two extra sous-artists today:

Since it’s the weekend, I got to help a bit today with block colours, sponging and even doing a *little! bit of painting. I thought you would like to see how a porcupine grows quills – it’s pretty cool how it all comes from her head onto the wall.

This is her last day painting – and there are a few days left. So unless the highways close again (which they HAVE been doing all week) Silena is off back home and will have to finish up when she visits at the end of January. Usually rooms don’t take so long – but this is so realistic and special – well, I can’t wait to show you when she is done!

In the fall portion of the room, there are two little skunks playing hide and seek. There isn’t much to this wall, since the big headboards are on each side of the big window. Silena still is working on the fall leaves / tree.

Speaking of little stinkers, ~tee hee~, we took a morning off to run some errands and visit my friend T and her daughter Z across the lake. 

It was so nice – T gave me this Ethiopian cooking book she had ordered from a cookstore in Toronto – how cool is that?!? I can’t wait to try out the recipes.

Her daughter Z kept us all amused, as usual!  T must have so much patience, cause Z is just boundless energy.  She’s a real charmer – I have a soft spot for her, for sure

Silena finished the winter wall today -

Now, I can’t spoil the finished product for you, so I will just give you little glimpses and hints – tee hee:  a little badger, a little martin, and the family of bunnies.

The colouring is bad because I took the pictures at night when I came home (someone’s got to earn the money to pay this starving artist! lol) but you’ll get the idea.

Silena decided that each of the four walls of the room would be a season.  Today she started working on winter – the badger and martin making a snowbear, with a family of bunnies looking on… you can see the autumn skunk playing hide and seek in the corner of the pics below.

Of course, she has a lot of help.  The four seasons were mostly Laughlin’s idea.

So my sister Silena started on the murals for the kids’ room … the first task was all the drawing.

She drew the background freehand, but she already had the characters drawn and planned out – so I got to help my tracing her pre-drawn characters on the wall.
