This project took over 40 hours to complete. That's including sketching the draft, priming and sketching images on the wall, painting, making changes....(I made quite a few, probably why it took me so long) and finally 2 coats of clear varnish.

I had a great time doing this project for Tara and her school. I learned a lot and I figured out a few things I would do different. Would I do another one?
Yes indeed....
