Finger Painting in Hickman

Well, I only finger paint a 1/3 of the time. Tis fun. (and helps blend the colors a bit better then brushes). Here is the picture the mural just before I started working on it.


...and after I worked about 14 hrs.





I am looking forward to getting to work on the next section. :D

I vote ORANGE!!!! You can tell THAT to those silly Bio professors and see what they say! Since I have such sway in these types of matters.....

lol

Yay for artness! And for new artness that now grace's my wall. Oh, by the way, how about when I get a house, we should paint murals on the wall! I'll even let you have a wall all to yourself to paint biochemistry stuff on!

Hey! Maybe next year, Alice and I could put up thick parchment paper on our walls, and then we could paint murals on that! !!!! What do you think? Will you be our personal resident mural-painting genius?

Alex said...

I think we need some of those types of murals here at Andrews.

Christy San, I would LOVE to help decorate your parchment covered walls next year! :D

and yes, whenever you buy a house, physics and biochem murals all the way. and paint the star patterns on the ceiling with tiny drops of glow in the dark paint so you can only see it at night. now you see. now you dont. yay. you my friend should be an accountant. (clearly) because you have somehow managed to keep ALL of your toes. ;)

Beautiful. Beautiful. Beautiful. I wish I could commission you to illustrate my research. Do you know that Johns Hopkins has a scientific illustrator program? I met graduates at NIH and they are AWESOME.

Thanks for sharing, my friend.

Jen said...

Very cool!
Have you read any Madeline L'Engle? She has a neat book about being inside the mitochondria of cells (A Wind in the Door.)
