Church mural

Just a few pics...you can get an idea of the size and it goes back farther from the bottom picture...it's about 300 linear feet...after painting it 3 times to get the paint to cover, it ended up pretty big! Design by Ryan Colon. I just painted it! :-)

This trompe l'oeil is on a L shaped wall in Sebastian's Closet; an upscale clothier, mostly Italian clothes and such. The owner went to Italy and took pictures, which I translated on the walls as an "entry" or "exit" onto a Tuscan landscape. The "window" on another wall is completely flat except for the ironwork. Clicking on them will probably give you a better view.
This is another view, closer of the 13' diameter faux mosaic painted floor at Mercy Wine bar. The colors aren't very true, but it's a good image...there is a "broken" pearl necklace on it, and fake cracks and breaks. This took a long time, as I could only work on Sundays. I spent those lonely days with worship music and lots of meditative prayer.

Picture of my painted cement floor; very doggie, kitty, and teen friendly. Also pics of Mercy Wine bar murals; one reproduction of a Pompeiian Venus, (I think about 16'x9 and the other some wild and crazy critters 8'x5' ish, painted to look like a faux fresco.

walls and floor

I did the homeowner's bedroom walls. They wanted a fantasy stone...not too real looking to go along with their castle motif. Also painted their dining room floor with fun fake mosaic border, pearl necklace, and broken plate. They are fun people!

Torn walls mural

This was a challenge. The homeowner wanted a landscape in the upper floor of their home, however the ceiling had some "roof" issues that you can see in the first pictures. The occupant of this office is a man, so he wanted Texas landscape...rugged and strong. She wanted Tuscany. I compromised, and both were satisfied. The walls are finished like the Alamo, very rustic with corners extra dark. Each part of the walls were just partially "torn" away, so that the landscape appears continual, and it allows for the inset of the architecture in the middle of the wallspace.
