Greetings from Under the Sea

Greetings from Under the Sea

One of the most beloved creatures in SW Florida (and perhaps even the world) is the Sea Turtle. There are only seven species of sea turtles left in the world (the flatback, green, hawksbill, leatherback, loggerhead, Kemp's ridley, and olive ridley). All seven species are on the endangered list. This incredible gentle marine life outlived the dinosaurs. It is our duty to see that they remain on earth for millions of years more.

The sea turtle is a common request in my custom painted murals. Recently, there was an added twist to the commission. The mural was to be painted on the exterior entry way of a home. Outdoor commissions are nothing new. But it is usually on a home’s lanai or for a commercial building. I was delighted to create an underwater scene that greets the neighbors as they drive by the home. The neighbors loved it too and it seemed the whole neighborhood dropped to chat while the mural was being created. It brought a smile to everyone.

The mural has a bit of protection from the elements with the roof overhang and angle of the wall is perpendicular to the sun. The background has been painted in Valspar Duramax (exterior house paint in Satin) The details are painted in outdoor acrylics.

Think bold! Bring a smile to your neighborhood with a custom painted mural at your entry. Contact me at Swan Studios Inc

Pair of Swans I and II

Swans are known for their elegance and beauty. Their pure white regal plumage makes them the most breathtaking creatures swimming above the water. They are also known for creating a monogamous bond with their mate which is why you often see them depicted in art gracefully floating together. Perhaps it goes without saying that I’m a huge fan of swans. Afterall, its in the name of my company- Swan Studios Inc.

Recently I finished painting two canvases of a swan couple. The canvases are to be hung on opposite walls from each other. The background is almost a continuation of the landscape with the loving pair gliding along together. The original artwork is painted onto a 36" x 54" ft hard board canvas.

 

I’ve made the images available as reproduction prints, as well as other various items such as pillows and throws. You can find them at the links below:
