Have you ever painted a mural?

I'm currently working on painting my fourth mural! I love doing this sort of thing. The first two were outside on the sides of buildings for a florist and a church, giant yellow tulips and Jesus' hands, respectively. I didn't really know what I was doing, and both murals were huge. I sort of dread driving past them, because I see every mistake! :P
These other two are indoors and under blacklights in a club. I'm not thrilled with the third one (swallows, nautical stars, old English letters...?), but the fourth, which I'm still working on, is looking pretty good! It has Old West pistols and roses (guns and roses) with a banner overhead that has the club's name. Of course, for all of these, the business owners have decided what the design would be. One day, maybe I'll paint one for myself!
So, have you ever painted a mural? What was it? If not, what are your favorite murals, and where are they located?

Yes I painted a mural on a wall in my meditation room. It was a little challenging because usually I work with about 16 X 20 inch canvases. I am pleased with it. A whole new experience for me. I found that because of the large perspective I made about a million trips up and down the ladder just to see better what I was doing when I was close. I don't know that I will do another one soon as that one took me about 4 month to complete. I think a challenge every now and then is a great thing.
