This is the last room Jose can add on to the restaurant and I have painted most of them at Jose's Grill in Hot Springs, Arkansas.  He just found a cute idea though so there will be another mural on a wall we actually found did not have a mural on it already.  This one I want to post in process as it goes up.   I have started with the room in the mess as it is being remodeled and this mural I am painting inside out.  I have put the Mexican Idios up first then painted some of the background.   I wanted to get them painted so I could then figure out what all we could get into the art, because we want a full Mexican Indio scene as to their lifestyle.  I have twenty five feet to work with so I wanted the two Idios who are playing an ancient ball game large in the foreground.
