Heh, I knew it'd be a harder sell to Mike than the floral mural itself, haha! Maybe someday I'll do that though, it was cool.

And sure, anybody can have stripes. A large part of my point with this post was to teach people how to do both, to encourage casting artistic fears aside. Now I see I really just need to finish this area to reveal the larger plan; this is only one part of many.<br /><br />I can always repaint. That's the joy of paint and making plans: both can be changed.

I'm sorry you were married to a soul-crushing husband. If you read on a bit more, you'll see what a fantastic, loving, generous, good-humored, patient, and not soul-crushing guy Mike is. <br /><br />There are a million ways to treat a wall, a million murals to be painted, I could change my mind again. Sorry you feel the stripes are uninspiring; I hope you'll come back and see the finished area when I get there.
