I used the same techniques to complete each of these projects, the only difference is the color. I first learned this technique to paint malachite, but it also works beautifully for onyx and sardonyx. I’ve always wanted to do a floor like this, but it hasn’t happened yet.
I painted these for 4 different shows in 3 different theatres. I had fun working on The Full Monty. Painting under black lights is trippy. Pretty Lady is so pretty, isn’t she? It’s an homage to Tamara De Lempica’s work. I can’t remember what show the General Store sign is for. The vintage Pepsi sign & the bunting…
What a great project. I loved this one despite the discomfort of the chilly, climate controlled room. The owner asked for a window with a view of vineyard, stone walls , & grapevines. I thought it came out nicely. What a shame it only gets seen when someone goes to the cellar to grab a bottle.
I painted this cheeky looking fellow for a lovely Scottish gentleman who worked his entire career as a merchant marine. I think he missed the constant company of the herring gulls. Now he has one in his master bath to watch him brush his teeth every morning.
This project was a family affair. It was the Mom that wanted the mural. She wanted a view with mountains, fields, grape vines and a marble columned trellis. The Dad wanted the bottle of wine on the center panel. He actually selected a bottle from his wine cellar for me to work…
In the first picture I’m pointing to where the scratch used to be. Magic.
