Archways Old World Mural with Columns

Archways Old World Mural with Columns

The Chandler Archway Classical Academys'
Headmaster requested a mural with archways and Socrates.  After playing with many ideas, we came up with this mural.  It took 4 days to complete.  On the left we have Plato and Aristotle with children entering the academy. Socrates in the center, angels holding the academy's emblem.  On the right are the same children, graduated with diplomas in hand, walking away.  Everyone loves the mural and many take pictures of it and of their children in front of it. It was such a joy to paint this mural for the staff and all children and parents who will enjoy it forever more!

Old World Exposed Bricks Faux Finishes

We completed this breakfast nook a month ago, here are all the photos.  The pink one at the bottom is how it used to look before. The first photo shows a hawk I painted on the ceiling of the breakfast nook, landing on a branch.

The clients were very pleased and loved it .

Nursery Fairy, Unicorn Mural

A sketch right on the wall where mural is to be painted

I started at the top, filling in the sky, then the castles and trees. Then the water and reflections.  Tomorrow I'll finish the unicorn, fairy and small fairies. Also, I plan on softening the edges.

Baby Room Painting, Fairy Mural

We started on a baby room for a baby girl. We helped the clients pick out the colors that would work with their decor for baby's accessories. This will be a two-tone room with a ribbon border seperating the colors. First, you draw the ribbon line. Then paint the top half with Periwinkle Lavender. The lower half was painted with Mocha Plum. Then we painted on the ribbon with several colors and shades of pink.

The photograph to the right shows a big patch we mudded to smooth out just that area to get it ready for the mural.

Sunset Beach Mural

Today we painted a beach mural at sunset, with horses, on a wall in a girls bedroom.

Fireplace Wall Transformation Completed

We covered the white tile with a troweled on stone

product and stained it with various stone colors. 

We nailed stars and horseshoes on the mantle.

We painted heiroglyphics of horses and riders on the stone

(right above the fireplace)

We put alot of character into the faux stone, and it came out fabulous!

This is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece!
