The Toy House

Tom offended me recently. He said that our house is like a "toy house" because of how Ive decorated it. So I like random hat boxes with russian dolls on! And I like stuffed toy rats on top of my TV. And I like having a pillow in the shape of a cat called Bastis to have pride of place on my bright red pooffee. And my stairs are lime green and black with dark purple walls. OK, it IS like a toy house. But I think the biggest problem Tom has is my Nintendo obsession. I have a plush Bowser on my TV (next to the toy rat). I have a plush Wario on my sofa and a plush Mario sitting on top of Bastis. I have a plush Pirana Plant on my fireplace. And I also have Power Up mushroom figurines on my mantlepiece. So why not paint some canvases to complete the look!?
I did want large stickers for the walls, but Tom drew the line. Spoilsport.

So here they are, my first batch.

I used 3 of my smallest square canvas for the tile effect. I am going to make another 6, to make a 3x3 large square, but thats for another day.

I chose to do Mario, for he is the namesake of the series although not my favourite character. I have a bag with this image on, so thats what I based it on. Plus, its from the cover of my favourite Mario game (Super Mario 3)


Then I did Goomba (who I adore, so much so I have a tattoo of a Goomba on my wrist... true story!). I wish I could have a pet Goomba.


Bowser was my third choice because he is my ultimate fave.

I think next I'll do a Koopa, Bob-omb, Wario (another fave!) and mushrooms. I should do a Yoshi, even though he annoys me. Although saying that, he doesnt annoy me as much as Peach.

Im having a Nintendo Frenzy. I'll calm down. So thats the latest addition to my paintings collection. OK, they're not my usual style but Im happy with them. They are in my living room and Tom can't say anything. He called it a Toy House, I'll make it a Toy House!
