Another Mural Project

Mural art I did for another client. Take a tour of the home and see what else I created by clicking HERE

That's it for now regarding showcasing any more mural projects. Next post will be small artwork I'm currently working on geared for selling as prints. Meanwhile, very busy creating art for several clients; products to showcase at impending website for Junes Melange store - which launch date keeps becoming pushed back at a later date. My original intention was to launch in Spring. Looks as if not ready until fall. Far too many other things coming up this summer. Nevertheless, in addition, have a very important deadline to meet concerning a particular magazine. I'll discuss this at a later date.

Until next time . . . Cheers!

First Mural Project

Take a tour of waterfront home featuring my first on-site mural project created for client. First, there is extensive mural design in the foyer. Soon I'll add more pictures depicting design work in living and dinning rooms. So, if interested in viewing, please click HERE

Mural Samples

Sample art for mock wall mural.

In case you haven't been following the last posts ... about eight years ago, my husband and myself owned a decorative painting business. Usually we worked strictly on producing specialized paint effects for residential homes. From simple colorwashing to the more challenging techniques such as aging plasterwork, crackle glazing, faux finishes and anything in-between. There were some clients who hired me to design and hand paint wall murals. The piece seen above including others were presented in my first portfolio shown to potential clientele. Later on, there were other portfolios which I'll show in the near future. Until then, click image below to view some more mural samples...

Next post is that of on-site photographs featuring my very first client's home. Taking you inside, you'll get to view an originally designed and hand painted wall mural. It begins within entryway and leads to the top landing of their stairs. Stay tuned.

The Art Of Murals

Hello. As promised, here begins a journey into my mural art. Nearly eight years ago while working as a decorative painter/muralist in partnership with my husband, whenever meeting with potential clients I'd present a portfolio filled with samples. This is one of several of those samples (see February 1st 'Inside the Studio' post for another one) which I'll first showcase before heading onward to photographs of actual job sites where several of my large murals reside. Please be patient for these due to vast amount of photographs needing to be sorted, scanned and edited in photoshop. Unfortunately, way back then I didn't own a digital camera! Suffice it to say, digital makes uploading so much faster and easier. Instead, this task is causing slow progress and occasional bouts of terrible procrastination. Meanwhile...

I'll try my best this week to answer all your emails and comments some of you have written lately. Apologize for delay and hope you haven't thought me rude for not replying. Very busy! So much to do regarding other works in progress including personal stuff needing utmost attention.

Until next time...
