A Big Boy Jungle Room...This room began with the help of a little five year old imagination. The sweet boy sat in with his mom & I on our first meeting. He loves animals his mom told me. He tells me he wants "gorillas, elephants, snake, bear & an alligator" in his room. He also knew exactly where he wanted them. So the sketch began...

Then the painting starts...This picture is at the end of Day One.
The final picture.
"I want an alligator under the window in a pond. I also want the teeth cleaner bird in his mouth."

The final pictures & 4 days later...A jungle room for a little boy to grow into. I also added in the tree a growth chart camouflaged in the tree trunk to mimic wood carving in the tree. This room was great fun to paint! Best of all one day I was able to see him in his space playing make-believe with all the animals.
A great thing about a mural is that colors can be completely custom to the homeowners taste. She loved the green in the leaves. It really pops!What do you think? What would you change or add to a jungle room?
