Mural Painting: Earning Your Stripes

Mural Painting: Earning Your Stripes

Zebra stripes are a bold statement for your interior designs. The geometric shapes the stripes create are totally mesmerizing and allow you to show your “wild” side.

This bedroom certainly isn't a shrinking violet with its powerful black and white stripes accented with electric blue. An added dimension is created by placing a canvas painted with the same pattern and accented with a rainbow of color splashes:

This subtle color zebra palette still offers a powerful punch. It is painted onto a massive canvas to cover and electrical wall. Splashes of metallic silver give sparkle and glamour: 

A zebra appears to be playing hide and seek in this art piece titled “Zebra in the Garden”

Faux Finish Painting: Game-Set-Match!

Faux painting on furniture, columns, walls, or ceilings opens the door to a w world of color and selections where the only limit is your imagination. Occasionally, that door is already open, however, and I receive a request to match a finish that already exists. No worries, Swan Studios Inc. can handle this dilemma for you.

After the client had a large mirror and frame permanently attached to the entry hallway, she found a charming painted cabinet. But that meant the mirror frame clashed with the cabinet. I gave the mirror frame a color wash and painted the floral motifs from the cabinet on to the frame:

Kitchen cabinets receive a face-lift:

Acquired on three different occasions, 2 dressers and shelving receive the same faux finish to make a set:

Mural Creation : Under The Sea

Mural Creation: Under the Sea

Life is the Bubbles…Under the Sea! It is a total delight when client’s request under water scenes. They bring so much fun and color to any room, both indoors and outdoors…and restaurants too!

An underwater themed child’s room: The room is painted so you have the feeling of being submerged. The bunk-bed has been made to resemble a submarine. Sleeping quarters on the top bunk and a play area is created in the lower section. Room comes complete with a giant octopus that greets you as you climb up to the bed area. The tentacles encompass the bed, walls, and ceiling. Even the furniture and window cornice are painted to blend in to the theme:

Shells make a fabulous motif in a kitchen niche:

Of course, humans go underwater too!

Happy Thanksgiving

Mural Creation: I Heard It Through The Grape Vine

Mural Creation: I Heard It Through The Grape Vine

Yum... Grapes - everyone’s favorite fruit gives us succulent sweet bursts of flavor on a warm day.  Grapes give us home- made jams and jellies. And perhaps, most importantly grapes give us Wine!  

With all that grapes have to  offer, it’s no surprise that I’m often requested to paint this fruit from the heavens in both private homes and commercial locations. 

A kitchen hood flow receives an adornment of grape vines

This scene gives restaurant patrons a beautiful view while concealing a less than appetizing view to the alley. 

Grapes surround the wine area at Mama Nina's

Vineyard scenes are extremely popular for the Mediterranean homes in South Florida

Of course, other fruits and berries give us jams and wine too!

These berries dance across the window cornice and onto the walls in a guest bathroom

Mural Painting: We The People

Mural Painting: We the People

The most personal thing that can be painted into a mural or on canvas is a person. We’re attracted to human faces. I've had the pleasure of painting both walls and canvases for several clients. And the requests have been as varied in style as there are people

.

Portrait painted for a client who declared herself to be “A Fabulous Cook”:

Both real and fantasy people “underwater”:

Children are always delighted to see themselves painted into their room murals:

Sometimes people are who we fantasize we could be:

Or come from our favorite stories and comics:

Some paintings show us hard at work:

And some are of our own real life heroes:
