This mural was painted in a house near Hereford in August 2007. It is in the bedroom of two young girls; they wished to brighten up their room in a new house, and came up with the idea of a land of sweets - where nearly everything in the landscape would be made of sweets, from candyfloss clouds, to gingerbread men, to ice cream trees and a house made of sweets. And then finished off with three fairies in the foreground, because no little girls' bedroom is complete without fairies.

The mural had to be completed in one week from agreement of the brief to finishing the mural, before the family moved in to their new house. Everything was painted freehand and, apart from sketching in the main items in pencil, were painted directly onto the wall as I went along. This commission involved the purchase and consumption of large quantities of sweets!

The mural was painted in acrylics and emulsion and measures about 14 feet wide (including the tree on the adjacent wall) by 9 feet high.
