This is a pediatric dental clinic in Flower Mound, Texas that I painted a month or so ago.
When I first met with the awesome dentist there, she had a lovely new clinic called Toothstory and totally white walls. She wanted small murals painted throughout to add pops of color and so I came up with the idea of making it seem like the white walls were clouds and you could see peeks of other worlds through the clouds.
They liked the idea and turned the theme of the clinic into clouds and sky. The whole thing came together and looks really adorable.
I'll probably do a few more exam rooms as the clinic grows, but this is it for now.

Last month I went back to Arkansas to paint another Pediatric Plus, my fourth. It was in Van Buren which is beautiful and I had a blast painting in a new setting and meeting new people.
The schools are special needs daycares and I paint their big active play therapy room. It includes four small therapy rooms within the big room.
They wanted me to include things that were special to Van Buren, so I included their famous train and the awesome downtown area including referencing some of their iconic old buildings.

This is a new daycare in Garland that was designed by my amazing friend Uttara Patil. She did the design for the whole remodel for this school and everything. She is so talented!
I painted the murals for it, as well as all these awesome and huge planets that were suspended from the ceiling in the multipurpose room.

A fun and fast mural for a little boy's bedroom. The idea is to add black little shelves with super hero figurines on top of the buildings as well as a batman nightlight where the yellow beam is.
I think it's gonna be really cute when finished.
