Nursery Wall Art

I searched for tons of ideas for wall art for Logan's room and there were SO many great options & ideas! I was having such a hard time deciding and thought it would be fun to use my (maternity leave) time off to create a little something special on my own. I didn't really have anything in mind yet, but I bought some canvases and started thinking up a plan and looking around at ideas on the internet. Since Logan's room is mainly jungle animals (big surprise, right?), I decided to do something with animals and create my own wall art, but something that wasn't too "baby". I searched images online and found some cute silhouette animals that I decided to try and hand paint. My friend Tara has been painting something for her bathroom, so we got together and painted our projects while the guys discussed Theology. I haven't painted something in a while, so this was a lot of fun, especially when you have good company to do it with too! I painted the animals on the canvases using a toothpick, which made it a little easier to handle, and I decided to put all the canvases around the fun letter I bought from Pottery Barn. Here is the finished product!

The animals clockwise from the top are a Panda, Deer, Pig, Giraffe, Elephant and Kangaroo. It's still not quite what I had visualized, but I think it's fun and different...and I am proud of my work! :)
