it started with the bathroom

My bathroom was the very first room in the house I painted when we moved in three years ago. I still like it, it's just that every few months I get the painting bug.  I was just wanting to do a little something different in there. I had been tossing around ideas and colors in my head for a few weeks, but what came of it was a large tree in the living room!

Almost done. Just need a dragon fly...

Meet Nezzer.

...And some green leaves...

Our "Revelation Tree."

"Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. The angel said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true. The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent his angel to show his servants the things that must soon take place."  ~ Revelation 22: 1-6

...the bathroom can wait.
