Laurelwood Brewery projects: NE location Murals

I had some challenging areas to paint. The mural goes up the wall past the conduit.

Every Laurelwood Brewery in Portland and Battleground Wa. has a play area for toddlers and children. Its kind of a nice thing for parents because they flood in here at lunch and afterwards to relax, have some tasty beer, really good food and watch their kids. Beer N Baby sit. Im not exaggerating when I say good food. Laurelwood has some of the best Brew pub food around! Its even safe for Vegans and Vegetarians. I must have tried most everything and it was good. So I was hired on to give a really boring area in the back of their pub some life! It was just a plain red wall!

 It needed to be kid oriented since its in the play areas. We came up with an enchanted forest type theme. I thought having cartoonish trees with a banner flowing through them would be nice with
  a wooded path leading to an old archway on the wall in the play area. I even went as far as to        paint in the branches and leaves on the ceiling.  I did it in sort of an illustrative fairy tale style.
  I used paint pigments and glaze along with varnish and acrylic colors to keep the dry time open enough to illustrate the lines and shade in areas of concentration. Other areas I rolled on the colors and fauxed. It turned out pretty nice. I wished I didnt take these pictures with the lights on! It creates a distorted glare! Oh well.
