This is how it began. My sketch , which changed in bits along the wayGetting the balustrade right was very difficult for a mathematically challenged person…..It was quite scary up the ladder. Lots of reference photos balanced on the sofa. Painted the wisteria first so that I didn’t have to go up the ladder. Making a lot of progress here including the pink treeThe night that I painted the wall to look like the floor tiles. Was so very pleased with myself. This side finishedFinished and including swansI painted the edge of the door last.Finished.
I could have carried on for another month and fiddled with this and that, but I am happy to say enough.
Now I need a large glass of wine and a good night’s sleep.
