Mural Painting: "Palm Sunday"

Mural Painting: “Palm Sunday”

Today is “Palm Sunday”, the day we celebrate the triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusalem. Many today will wave a palm frond or lay one in a church aisle as they worship and remember the Biblical event before Easter Sunday. In honor of Palm Sunday, Swan Studios is waving our own Palms- these palm fronds are painted on walls rather than sprouting from the ground. Palm trees are one of the most common mural requests I’m commissioned to paint here in gorgeous Southwest Florida.

 Wishing you a beautiful and blessed Palm Sunday:

This palm tree was requested to hide wall damage on a recently purchased model home:

The above palm tree , as well as, the palm tree below, where commissioned for a vacation home for a Chicago couple who wanted a true Florida get-away:


 Palm trees painted for a furniture showroom: 



Mural palm trees are safe for stairwell landings:



Mural palms fit in tight spaces; behind family room sofas and chairs:


Mural palms accent pool areas and lanais:



But, of course, full beach scenes with palm trees can be the perfect way to feature a niche or wall:

Murals & Faux Finishes: Dancing On the Ceiling

Murals & Faux Finishes: Dancing On the Ceiling

If you were around the 80’s then you know we had some fabulous dance music! ( I admit-I have plenty of 80’s tunes still loaded up in my iPod today) It makes you feel happy-giddy-and ready to DANCE ON THE CEILING. Just listen to Lionel Richie and you’ll be jumping around all day: 

Painting on the ceiling makes me just as giddy. OK, maybe that kind of giddy has to do with the paint and being 14 feet up in the air, but the end result has everyone dancing. Your ceilings are  blank canvases screaming to be accented with faux painting or a mural. 

Here's just a little peek at some of the ceilings that have us feeling the beat:

Mural and Faux Painting: “Dresser’d For Success”

Mural and Faux Painting: “Dresser’d For Success”

 It is always such a delight attending the local charity functions for the Dress for Success organization. Their foundation focuses on helping women everywhere gain economic independence through a network of support, attire, and mentor-ship. Anyone who has attended the annual ball can attest how inspiring it is to hear the testimonies of women whose lives have been transformed and have achieved their education and career goals. To learn about this amazing organization visit: https://www.dressforsuccess.org/

And speaking of amazing transformations…
Swan Studios Inc.http://www.swanstudio.net/ can help you transform your Dress (er). Whether it’s a dresser you need to have new life breathed into or a dresser painted for a whimsical conversation piece, Swan Studios can paint you for success.

The dark wood dresser below was showing some serious signs of use and abuse. It has been transformed with a distressed and antiqued chalky sea glass green finish.









These dressers have been painted in one of our most popular finishes; a distressed and antiqued metallic silver taupe:











Taking decorative painting a bit further, the dressers below delight with their fanciful whimsical splashes of color and pattern:
