Cxgirl, aw, thanks!

The three dimensional "tops" are beads and the colorful flat ones are round rhinestones glued to beads.

 

Okay, some of you asked for it... you're getting it. I just completed this restaurant's three murals. They knew exactly what they wanted (right down to the lavender flowers on the chica, and wouldn't budge... thank God they didn't want monkeys wearing sombreros). And a girl's gotta make a living, so... I present...

First - Ancient Mexican Warrior with Helpless (and virginal, I presume) Princess
Second - Courtyard hospitality scene with ma and pa
Third, fourth - Caballero and landscape

They had me do the girl's bosom over twice... too suggestive, too sexy. And the warrior had to be looking up (not at the girl), indicating, presumably, that he is on
a divine mission, as opposed to carrying off the girl for re recreational purposes. And the agaves had to be neater, and the domestic couple had to be looking forward, and the horse had to be same shade as a picture of the guy's dog, and... on and on. But... CHA-CHINNNNG!!!!

 

Wow! GG, that's great! While it may not be what you are 'driven' to create, you do an absolutely wonderful job!

Those were the less sexy boobs? Yikes!
I particularly like how the Caballero appears to be watching that family eat!

Thanks for showing us!

 

Thank you, quirky!!!!
Exactly... got to pay bills.
You're very sweet.
And maybe they were right about the boobs...
Hugzxszszszsz!!!!

 

Great job! Sometimes you have to sell your soul just a little to make your way in this life. While doing what you love, the compromise isn't as hard to stomach.

 

You feel me, Brad! But I felt sorry for myself all the way to the bank. I can paint my own stuff at home with my Tequila. Cheers!

 

OH MY GOD!!!!
You are, excuse me..... FREAKIN' A1 AMAZING!!!!

Recreational purposes!!!!!! Hahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!!!

 

Nope... Had to be wrong on those...

 

Gila, wow, excellent work!

 

Thank you, Pat, thank you!

 

I know this assignment didn't really fit your personal taste, Gila, but you did a great job!

 

Thank you, Baker! So true. But as I told Brad - I pretty much pouted all the way to the bank. Plus I knew you folks here would give me an "atta girl"!

Thanks much, Antidiem... the clients were so hard to please that I almost asked them if they would like me to put a turtleneck on her.
