Laili's New Mural

Since Laili is now too grown up for Elmo and Cookie Monster, because let's face it those characters are for babies and fairies are much more suited for a 6-year-old, I painted her a brand new room. Much more simple, much more grown up. :)

Yosemite scene

This weekend I spent a few hours painting and this is what emerged out of my efforts.

Fireman Jackets...

The fire extinguisher was there from the beginning. I just added the hanger with fireman hats and jackets. 

Ocean View Mural

Here's a window on the second floor of a show room... overlooking the ocean. The whole room is still under construction. The binoculars are painted too... 

Vineyard Mural

This one is in the main office of a flooring company. The window, the faux cracks, the tiles, the curtains, and the curtain rod are all painted on an otherwise smooth and white wall. 

Mural Addition: Cookie Monster

Elmo over the bed... Cookie monster on the other wall. That's how I roll!

The first thing my niece said when she saw her cookie monster floating up up up on her wall for the first time:

"Where is his cookie?"

So I went back a week later and painted a cookie in his waiving hand. A bite missing of course and crumbs everywhere. 

Mural Addition: Elmo!

On April of 2009, I spent some time adding one of my niece's favorite characters to her mural The addition was to cover up a butterfly that had been scaring her. What better way to cover up a small butterfly than with a giant hot air balloon with Elmo in it? 

I painted in the morning, then taught some dance lessons in the evening. A full day's work.

Here are some pictures:
