I was contacted by the nice folks over at Haute Cuisine to make a mural in their gallery shop, located in Leuven ( Belgium ).

For the first time I painted my musical hero Django Reinhardt. Fun & memorable times !
This mural has a soundtrack:

I completely understand. I prefer flat colours too. This is the first time I used acrylics on a wall. The problem was I didn't have enough time to make it flat, secondly, the colours turned out wayy darker than I expected in that room. This picture was taken with flash, so the colours look brighter, but in the room itself it's very dark. to prevent that a bit while I was doing it I chose not to go for the flat color, it would've been too dark. I don't mind the texture, though, but in general prefer the flatness ( like my zombie cash mural, those were different paints ). thanks !

There isn't a more fitting mural for the room, nor a more fitting room for the mural.:)

On a tangential note, I introduced a friend of mine to Django Reinhardt...he's now learning how to play Minor Swing...:)

I once learned a bit to play 'nuages', but never really succeeded and totally forgot what I learned :)

Nuages is a lovely song...perhaps it's possible to transcribe it to piano?
