homestyle decorating

The walls look so plain.  I've had it in my mind to invite an artist, or at least an art student, to come and paint the walls with some wheat and bread themes.  This has come to pass.  One young man stepped forward, and started painting a few shafts of wheat, copying a picture he found on the internet.  On another wall he planned to paint some loaves of  bread.

Yesterday, while waiting for the sous chef and assistant to arrive, there were about five young people gathered around the wall. They were a few Web students, but also I saw Tina sitting on the high bench table with a paintbrush in hand. The young painter gave a couple of them paint brushes, and instructed them on how to fill in his penciled sketch.  The results are pretty much what I'd hoped for.  Grandma's grandkids painting on the wall.  I'll add photos soon.
