OMango "Rangoli" Mural

I have recently started working with a great new concept that recently opened it's first store in Aurora, IL that will feature fresh, thoughtful Indian food.  My first task was to paint a mural/graphic called a "rangoli" on two large walls in the rear left corner of the store.
Rangoli is a traditional decorative folk art from India. These are decorative designs made on floors of living rooms and courtyards during Hindu festivals and are meant as sacred welcoming areas for the Hindu deities. 
The purpose of Rangoli is decoration, and it is thought to bring good luck. Design-depictions may also vary as they reflect traditions, folklore and practices that are unique to each area. It is traditionally done by women, but over the years modern additions have been adapted. Generally, this practice is showcased during occasions such as festivals, auspicious observances, celebrations of marriages and other similar milestones and gatherings. 

Here's how it evolved, day by day,...... in reverse.
