The Jungle Java Mural

I decided to put some of the murals in my portfolio online this is one of my favorites. The woman that I did the mural for owns a modeling school. Her daughters have won several pageants and are only in elementary and maybe middle school. One of the girls wanted the play room to be painted like a coffee shop and the other wanted it to be painted like a jungle. I decided to come up with a sketch that would incorporate both ideas the result was Jungle Java. The lemur runs the coffee shop and the other animals in the mural are patrons. I had so much fun doing this mural. I don't know if you will be able to see the coffee cups that well but the girls each put their name on the cups. I think that added just a little extra touch that really meant something to the mother. I have a few people that I have created artwork for that let me have full run of the design and this was one of them. She loved the idea behind the mural but didn't want it to overpower the room. I think that it worked out very well. Let me know what you guys think.
