I’m so happy that we get to see this more in depth! I can’t stop looking at this. Suzanne, come over to my house!!
what a great contest–i’m so glad this one made it into the top three! i can’t imagine how many hours this took her, but it came out great.
This is amazing! Beautiful work.
this room is crazy cool! I love love love the owl and the symetrical trees framing the window! What a great use of such a uniquely structured room.
I thought this one was so amazing! Glad that it made it to the top 3. That owl is just perfect, especially since it has glow in the dark eyes.
I wanted to ask. Where is the owl in the painting? I can’t seem to find it on the wall.
sorry, from the instructions it seems the owl is moveable.
I love this, congratulations Suzanne, you’re very talented :)
I loved this project, congrats!!! I was so hoping you would get first. This took hours, but I can tell you enjoyed doing it, it shows in your work. BRAVO!!!
Thanks everyone for your nice comments (and votes… if you voted for the mural :-). It was fun participating in this contest (thanks to Grace and all the sponsors!) and I really appreciate all your positive feedback. Ta!
Stunningly fabulous! Never tire of looking at it and want it on my 12′ high deep red living room wall! WOW! WOW! WOW!
