aunt dee, can you paint a mural for my room?

My sweet niece is a talented and creative young woman.  She is also an enthusiastic recipient of any handmade gift.  So when she asked me to paint a mural in her room, it was hard to say no.  She had only two requests:  It had to include each of her four dogs, and she wanted to show the change of seasons.  I made a sketch that met with her approval, and we mapped out the plan on the chosen wall.  Then together, we filled in the sketch with acrylic paint on the wall.
