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.
