Belgium Landscape
The first thing that
springs to most American’s mind when they hear the word “Belgium” is chocolate,
as well as, waffles and beer. I’m blessed to have spent part of my childhood in
Europe. Of course, beer wasn’t an option then. But I have so many wonderful
memories of our time there. The people were kind and friendly. The food was mouthwatering. And the landscapes postcard perfect. It was a
complete delight when a client requested a European landscape mural for the
backdrop of a fountain she had transported over from Belgium.
The Ardennes region of
southeast Belgium extends into Luxembourg, Germany and France. Its dense forests
are full of deciduous trees, meandering rivers, and rippling brooks.
The fountain has been
set under the stairwell. The sky portion extends up the underside of the
stairs. The tree- tops tip onto the underside as well:
Love this portion of the water over the brook rocks on the left-side:
A few more close-ups:
Pulling back for a view of the full underside. You can see hints of the wallpaper along the right wall across from the stairwell. The mural colors were kept earthy, so the two walls are complimentary. A clear top- coat protects the mural from water splashes.
An extra bonus, the home owners adorable Labrador hung out with me while painting:
