Clothing Optional

Clothing Optional

SW Florida is a glorious place to live. Plenty of sunshine, fresh air, and a relaxed way of life. If the heat gets too much just jump into your swimming pool. Almost every house has one. And if you have your own privacy wall…well- clothing is optional! That’s part of the whimsy of this week’s featured poolside mural… 

A playful take on having your own private beach. Swimwear is painted draped onto a Private Beach sign.

The Private Beach includes its own personal Tiki hut for shade. The thatching and beach extend to the left side wall:

On the right side wall the beach extends ending with a palm tree for transition to what will be the main outdoor wall paint:

And, of course, the beach mural includes some of our delightful wildlife:

Whether you suit up, skinny dip, or chunky dunk a custom poolside mural creates your

own private get away:

Swan Bliss

 

Swan Bliss

I was tempted to title this Swan Lake. Ultimately, I resisted and named it for the client whom it was painted for. During a recent revamping of the home, I painted a scene onto a plant shelf. About 10 years ago I had the pleasure of painting Tuscan Faux Finishes throughout the home. The interior is now under- going a transformation into a tranquil nature feel. The new palette features dusky aqua and blues mingled with cream to rust to various bark hues.

For the plant shelf, the first challenge was the original varnish protective coat. Once removed and primed, it was ready for its new scene:

The central portion features 2 Swans to represent the home owners, who decades later are still sweetly in love.

Keeping with the gentle nature feel, the willow tree seemed the perfect botanical choice to flank either side. The edges of the scene fade out making way for the rest of the rust brown shelf to be painted

in Verdigris. ( I used the verdigris collection paints by Faux Effects )

Typically our SWFL sunsets are vibrant. However, the muted colors of sunset are more fitting 

to the serene feel of the piece:

All Roads Lead to the Beach

All Roads Lead to the Beach 

Wherever you may have lived previously, when you arrive in SW Florida, you headed to the beach. Maybe you came from the great plains or frozen north. In today’s art wall the homeowners came from New York and New Jersey. And the beach... well sometimes the beach is very close to home...Very -Very close to home. From the series of privacy wall murals this one even includes directional signs: 

Your rowboat lands you onto your own private beach:

Colorful yet tranquil:

Relax in the shade:

The most requested beach bird. Everyone loves the adorable sandpipers:

Whatever angle you view the mural from, its stunning:

Happiness is a Hammock by the Sea

Happiness is a Hammock by the Sea

All you need is a hammock by the sea, a gentle breeze, a good book, and perhaps some sunbeams to heal the soul. Get away from the noise of everyday life and not worry about what day it is. And you can do it all from your very own lanai!  This week’s get away mural features everyone’s favorite napping place- the hammock. 

The hammock is painted as blue and white stripes to coordinate with the lanai's royal blue trim work .

I love this angle

The tranquil scene is now the back drop for evening cocktails:

A previously painted mural ( not by me ) had been painted with the wrong kind of paint . And well, here's what happened : It disappeared !

Yes are Florida sun is brutal and over time will fade just about anything. But using quality exterior latex and exterior grade acrylics will allow your mural to be enjoyed for many years.
