Mural in Kids Room

Designer: Cindy Chinn
Artist: Cindy Chinn
Date:March 2011

This is the second of 2 murals to go in kids rooms in a home in Lincoln Nebraska. This features a 'sand castle' theme and will incorporate 3D elements as well. The mural will be painted on canvas and installed on the wall above the wainscoting. View the 1st mural.

The colors on the website are not 100% accurate - due to the lighting in the room, the size of the mural and lack of space around the mural, getting perfect colors is a chore - also, there are some reflections to deal with.

^ Complete and installed - with matching beach umbrella

These Dolphins are about 3.5" tall in total....

My brushes were too small to give the woman driving the boat a real face! :)

Installed and ready for the room to be finished around it.

Here is the mock-up that Cindy is working from

And the painting has begun!

Cindy starts bringing out the "color" in the mural

Shadows set the new additions "into" the painting

Cindy adds the fence in the foreground and more detail to the unbrellas.

Sand Castles are more difficult than they look to paint!

Just a few final touches to do on the sand castle and Cindy can move on to something with color.

Cindy Loooooves painting Crabs!!
