After completing the Star Wars paintings, I set out work on the girls' room. Since my daughter occupies the room a majority of the time by herself, I gave her dibs on what theme we would do the room in. My main restriction was Dora. Not that I don't like Dora, but I know that it is something a little girl can easily grow out of.
So, I convinced her of Disney princesses. I had a plan all worked out. Then my plan got bigger, grander, and, unfortunately, improbable. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know where to start.
One morning, I sat with my daughter as she watched My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic on Netflix. They redid the show I had watched when I was a little girl. My daughter was mesmerized. I found out from my husband that she loves the show and she especially loves Pinkie Pie.
Light bulb!
I searched for minimalist pictures of the six main characters of the show. I now know their names by heart. I even know their cutie marks. To my surprise, I found exactly what I was looking for.
Here are two that I've done so far. I have to get better pictures of the three others I've done and post those, too. The first two I did were Pinkie Pie and Rarity, but the picture came out horribly.
The second two I finished were Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy (shown below). The pictures were taken before I did touch up work on them, but you get the idea.
These were super fun to paint and I have one more to do, my favorite, Twilight Sparkle. I have some touch-up work to do on one of the other ones, and then they'll be ready to adorn my daughter's wall. :D
Yes, my daughter is wearing a splint. Over the holiday weekend, she decided to take a spill of the couch and fracture her arm. She got a beautiful pink cast with sparkles. Unfortunately, I think she likes it a little too much. :S
