Here I am painting another mural. I had one week to do 6 Disney princesses for a little girl's bedroom while she was away with her mom. I haven't done a mural in awhile, but my heart melted when I heard the father's story. His wife instructed him to get the walls painted within the two weeks that her and her daughter were gone. He had hired a friend, of a friend, of a friend and they never showed up! One week gone. So, the poor man called every place that said that they were artists. He called my former boss, from American Art Studio, luckily she remembered that I used to do murals and referred me to him. I heard his plyte and saw the handwritten letter from the girl with her list of princesses - or as I like to call them female hero's. I was impressed by her selection. Even though I haven't met the little girl - I like her already! So, here I was, one week and they wanted princesses and background on all the walls. I knew I didn't have that kind of time frame for the background, but I could get her her princesses. So, I was hired!
The smartest thing that I did for this project was to hire my bff to assist me. She was so efficient that I put her to the wall and had her paint as well. She was scared at first, but then she became addicted. She painted the log by my raccoon and she painted, almost all of Ariel, I insisted on painting the lines so it all looked like the others, but that was her baby. She also painted the dresses. By the time she painted Ariel, she was so happy and excited! She was ready to give up her office management position and become a full time muralist. Sadly, not that many jobs come by that often to make it a career, but when they do, I will definitely have my assistant by my side. She made my time so easy. All I had to do was stand on the ladder and paint. What fun! Hope you enjoy them. I would love to hear your comments.
