Wisteria Insect Feature Wall Mural

I had a fantastic time over in Derbyshire lately, painting in a beautiful converted farm house. My client had a passion for the shape and form of insects - and wanted a wow mural for her stunning master bedroom - so I created a design of deep pink wisteria which gave the back drop to 9 metallic beetles.

Japanese Koi Carp Mural

I have been down in Surrey recently , painting with a goat hair brush to create an authentic mural of Japanese Koi Carp on the ceiling of a 16th century house.  

Thomas The Tank Engine Hand Painted Wall Mural

This week I have been working in Northampton painting a Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends mural - well I have been painting murals for over 10 years - and this was the first time I have painted Thomas The Tank Engine - and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This mural was for a little boy called Blake and it was in his bedroom at his grandparents house - how kind I thought they were to do that for him.  I have shown below three photos - Day 1, Day 2 and the final completed mural on Day 3.

African Sunset Hand Painted Wall Mural

This is the last of the murals that I painted for the care home in Leicester - and it was for one of the relaxation lounges - this is one of my favourite murals that I have painted to date - just because of the warmth of the colours and the peaceful feel of the animals.

Contemporary Styled Hand Painted Wall Murals

Here are a few more photos below of the more contemporary murals I designed and hand painted for the care home in Leicester - transforming very large plain wall lengths - into more inviting spaces.

Orchard View Care Home, Leicester - Complete Care home Mural Scheme

I have spent the last few weeks working in a care home that is being completely refurbished by the current owners.  The owners aim is to create a calming, welcoming, warm feel to the care home. The residents will be aged between 18 and 65 and will mainly have learning and physical difficulties - and the care home is being design with this in mind. The owners came to me firstly with the intention of just having a mural for there entrance - then once we got talking and I began to give them ideas on what they could have along there very long boring corridors and also suggested designs for there lounge areas - they then asked me to draw up a full scheme, which I did - and because my designs fitted their brief and budget set - they ordered the project.

So I will be posting the photos of the work I have done as I go along.  Below is the entrance palm and bamboo mural, and also below is a very tranquil blossom tree I did for one of their residents lounges. More images will follow soon.

Mr Hendrix and Friends Hand Painted Nursery Mural

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting and painting for the author of the award winning children's books - Mr Hendrix and Friends. I translated the gorgeous book illustrations of Mr Hendrix and his friends into a mural scheme for her nursery, it was also brilliant to actually meet Mr Hendrix in person.
