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:

Faux Painting: Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Faux Painting: Between a Rock and a Hard Place

Every Faux Finish job is unique and brings with it its own special challenges. Granted most of those challenges are pleasant ones like creating the right texture or selecting the perfect colors. Others….well can be HARD. Not as in difficult, but as in actually hard as Concrete.

I received a call from a home owner in our beautiful island of Sanibel http://www.sanibelisland.com/. She had an open pool put in and the builder pool-scaped using the rocks excavated to make a water fall fountain. Cement had been used to hold the boulders together. Her request was to conceal the cement that varied anywhere from 2 to 6 inches in bandwidth, so that it would appear as part of the rocks. The fountain situated on her open lanai and the waterway now blends in perfectly:

Concrete counter tops and floors can be transformed from urban to Mediterranean with faux marbleizing and , of course, a durable top coat :

This condo floor received faux glazing and a band of marble:  

Faux Painting gives this condo kitchen counter-top new life:

Faux Painting: Looking on the Bright Side

Faux Painting: Looking on the Bright Side

It’s Autumn! Even the air here in typically warm southwest Florida is chilly and crisp today. Although the air is “brisk”, the sun is in full shine. November brings visions of red, yellow, and gold leaves bursting from trees, well, for our northern states that is. Here in the sunshine state we’ll celebrate the glorious color change with brightly painted faux finishes:

The walls and ceilings of this home are faux painted in energetic oranges:

Ceiling in Burnished red with gold glaze:

Master bath and toilet room in sunny yellow- the paint colors are the same in each area but painted in two different techniques:

More bathrooms bursting in reds, coppers, and corals:

Bright colors create the perfect backdrop in these niches:

Color bursting overhead:
