My first mural, 2005

After decorating my nieces' bedroom in Beit Shemesh, a neighbor asked me to paint a landscape in the corner of her children's bedroom.
It was exciting--and terrifying. It was the first time I had worked on anything that big, and I was working with a hodge-podge of supplies: the various wall-paints that had been left over from her work in the house, combined with acrylic and craft paints from children's projects.
I used a mixture of rags, sponges, and house brushes.
Still, the handicaps ended up making it freeing and fun, with elements being added in as the kids asked for them. We also really enjoyed running the mural in with the bedroom furniture!
