These are snippets from am 8' high X 50+' mural done in a restored Victorian in San Francisco. The mural is outside, and the objective is to make a small urban patio/yard appear larger and inviting. Below is faux stonework, a niche with "sculpture" and "climbing roses: painted into the corner of the patio. I hope you can see it. Since taking this photo I have added a dark shadow to the statue's left (your right) hip which has knocked it back. I will follow this with a more panoramic shot of another section of this very complex mural.

I wish I could see the whole mural! I lived in SF for 21 yrs, and began my real work doing murals as a protge of George Pennywell, who was one of the premier muralist in the 60's and 70's around SF. I was in the city about 6 weeks ago, and was happy to see these beautiful works of art adorning many buildings. I miss those days, but at my age and physical condition climbing scaffolding is not an option any more....lol

What you have shown of this mural indeed would open up a cramped space for the owners to enjoy. You did a great job as far as I am able to see from these photos.
