Oldies but Goodies....Disney Murals

So, when I was younger I loved to paint. I painted so much that it was costing my parents lots of money. My mom decided that since I was so good at painting that she would paint my walls white and I could paint on them instead. I was very excited about this project. I loved Disney back then as much as I do now so I wanted to paint something to do with Disney. I looked through some Disney books I had when I was thirteen years old and decided to draw Jasmine, Belle, The Lion King Cubs and so on... Here is one of the murals I painted when I was thirteen but didn't finish until I was almost fifteen. Jasmine and Belle were painted to be as tall as me, about 5'5". Belle is sadly not in this picture, she would be on the left side of Jasmine. Jasmine is also holding a bird in her left hand that is not shown here.

Later I started to make a scene of Pocahontas with a beautiful waterfall behind her. I draw the picture on the wall when I was sixteen but got busy with sports, then I graduated went to college. I guess life took over and for years it never got done. But when I was about twenty seven I decided to finish what I started and painted Pocahontas! I have to say that I am very proud of my work. When I was painting her, I felt like I was a teen again. Here is the mural of Pocahontas....

  Pocahontas is about 3"10' high. She is holding the compass in her hands. I loved the bright colors I used to paint her. I also have a mural of Ariel on my door to my childhood room at my parents that I did when I was twelve but I can't seem to find a picture of her.
Now, we have moved into a new house and I have been painting a room white. I want to make a new mural of Disney World. I am very excited about this new project and can't wait to put it up as a post in the near future! Thanks mom for painting my room white when I was younger, I loved all the murals I have come up with over the years!

Missing some of the Old days at Disney

I have to say that there are things at Disney I miss. One of those would be the Adventurers Club  in Pleasure Island. I loved going into that club and feeling excited about the shows. The people who worked at the club where funny, lively, friendly and exciting! They all had fun names to be called by which made me laugh! I miss Hathaway Brown,
Madame Zarkov, Pamelia Perkins, The Maid (who always had a different name when I went there!),  Fletcher Hodges, Otis T. Wren and so many more! They had different rooms that had shows put on by one of the characters or many of them. I loved going into the The Library where they would have their largest show...and they would sing this starting song...  

"Marching along we're adventurers
Singing the song of adventurers
Up or down
North, south, east, or west,
An Adventurer's life is best. KUNGALOOSH!!"

I miss you Adventurers Club! I always had fun there!

Here is me at the Adventurers Club in 2006! Sadly it closed Sept. 27 2008 for good:(
I end with the club Motto: "Some days you eat the bear, some days the bear eats you, but always dress for the hunt!"
