Hannah, my oldest daughter (9) wanted lizards and Geckos..anything to do with "reptiles". She is not a "girlie girl" and loves anything like that. She was then fully wanting the lizards idea after I told her that I'd seen some lizard pulls for her drawers and we could switch them out. LOL I told her my idea of a hole in her wall and a lizard coming out of it...(Trompe L'Oeil painting) which in english is "fool the eye". I told her with shadowing etc..I could make it look like the hole was in her wall and that the lizard just "ventured" through it. She loved the idea and I did hers today. Here's her first painting done.

My girls' rooms that I started to paint "murals"
The pictures aren't really "murals" as they are going to be to be scattered around the room in different spots, so I guess you can call them just "paintings". My youngest, Sarah, LOVES kittens. She wanted kitties in her room painted doing different things. The first one I got to do for her was a kitty sleeping in a basket over her bed. She found a picture she liked on the net and I just sort of "worked with it". Here are her pictures of the finished product. This is the first of several kitties that she wants painted.

WOW These are adorable I love the wee gekko coming out of the hole in the wall and the kittens.

Judging by their taste in critters, your girls have very different personalities. Both the kitties and lizard are cute. Great way to personalize the girls room and get them involved with the decorating.
Hi Taracotta,
what a cute gecko! You are so talented.
Have a great weekend.
