Description
This is a color option for SKUNKY (also in this gallery.
Maple Preschool is a wonderful daycare facility in a church basement just north of Toronto with large windows to let in the daylight and bright cheerful surroundings to stimulate children's imaginations; however, the entrance from the rear parking lot where parents drop off their children had drab concrete and cinder block walls in the three-story stairwell that led to a dreary basement coat room. I was commissioned to paint a wall mural to make this stairwell more inviting and less daunting for young children.
This is a small 24" x 36" portion of the 40 ft. high x 100 ft. long custom designed hand-painted wall mural that I painted. It is not possible to show the entire mural at once because of the winding staircase so I am uploading it in small vignettes.
I decided on a woodland creatures theme and called it Furry Forest Friends. I designed a large Manitoba Maple tree to span the three stories with branches that circled the stairwell and were populated by many happy cuddly woodland creatures. I chose bright cheery stuffed animal colors for the happy fantasy caricature creatures with friendly faces. Shown here are a few of many colorful butterflies that seem to be confusing a cuddly little skunk. I added a more colorful background in a photo manipulation to enhance the art prints.
