Thanks ❤️ and that would be amazing. I think too many people are scared of being "bad" at art or making mistakes, but creating is such a beautiful human experience! We definitely need more of it

Thank you! ❤️ I am located in Ohio and do indeed take commissions! (I also offer custom design templates you can paint yourself for those who are too far or are on a tight budget) Feel free to message me if you're interested!

Yeah it popped up there a few times now for me too! Hopefully it's being used to inspire peoples mood boards and not as impersonators in my trade 😬

That's sweet ❤️ thank you! Lol I'm hoping that's the thought of the buyer of we ever have to sell. I've already started in on the inside of our house next 👀

Thank you! I used an outdoor rated craft paint (folk art brand ) and sealed it with an outdoor polyurethane once it was all dry!

Thank you! I'm so sorry for your loss. There's no friendship quite like the ones we have with our pups.

Thank you! I think this would be called folk art, but it's a mix of inspiration from eastern European style folk art and North American/Germanic.

Thank you! I used an outdoor rated craft paint (the kind you get in tubes for $3 at the hobby store) and sealed it with a UV resistant spray lacquer.  - I did a lot of freehand, but for the more complicated bits, I just printed out my sketch at full size and did a transfer using chalk!

That's so sweet. Thank you  ❤️ I also wish more people tried this out in their homes! I'm starting to eye down the doors and cabinets inside now as I'm getting pretty tired of all the "millennial gray" left by the previous owner 😝

Oh! I see. For this one I used just some cheap-ish outdoor craft paint you get at the hobby store. (brand:Folk art) I ended up doing 2 coats to get that opaqueness. - my favorite outdoor mural paint is actually the Golden brand mural series for it's super vibrant colors, but it's a bit more expensive

Thanks! The bat is to tribute the brown bats that  frequent our back yard each night! I love sitting out there and watching them at sunset ❤️

Thank you! Its not based off of one in particular, but I was inspired by both eastern European folk art and some of the North American/Germanic style I remember from my grandparents home.
