Trompe L'oeil Tuscan Porch Mural

Here's my latest mural project I've been working on.... last one till I leave for Madagascar!  The idea for this one came from a client's doormat that was in front of this back porch door! Never underestimate where inspiration may come from. The scene was somewhat similar, with an old wall with brick showing, and some other "Tuscan-y" things around. (Honestly, I'm not exactly sure what constitutes something looking "Tuscan", but apparently this is it). Anyway, I think this went nicely with the client's house and taste.  We realized that when it was done, the flowers were all in primary colors - the very colors she is most drawn to when buying clothes or anything. Perfect! I've done faux brick before, but this gave me a little more practice.  I'm happy with how it came out, now that I've done it a few times before.  I like how the whole thing makes me feel like I'm on vacation or something. Which I guess is the whole point of a mural like this - to transform a space, to lift your mood, to take you away to someplace nice.  Fun, fun!
