These whimsical trees have thick, bushy leaves on top that overlap and expands on to the ceiling and the side walls. It's hard to contain a tree top like that, it kind of took over!
I wanted to make the two pillars look like thick, twisted tree trunks with deep pockets for critters to hide. I actually painted them twice. I DID have a plan, but it didn't translate to the wall. Sometimes that happens. So, I started over and I got the tree trunks I was looking for.
Here are some of the fun critters these kids will get to discover as they play in their friendly forest.

It's just wonderful, Valerie. I love the trunk, and all the little beings. How fun!
Val I love your work. I just realized that you are the master behind Griffmobile Designs. For some reason I thought it was a friend of yours. Keep up the good work I can't wait to see what you create next.
Thanks! I had fun doing this one, like all the other ones...
