I’ve said before the cool thing about painting commissioned murals is the fact that I can make them personal for my clients. It’s like going to the hairdresser – they take an hour to do your hair, but you’re the one who has to live with it! Same with painting. I don’t always agree with […]

I’ve been inspired by so many bloggers recently that I’ve finally decided to bite the bullet today & redo my blog. Just simplify it, really. Before I can do that, I have to update my Etsy shop, Zazzle & my website. Whew! I may not get it all done today, but it’s a start. I’ve […]

These murals on canvas were painted for a home about 2 hours away from me. It was the first time I painted a full mural on canvas and then applied it to the wall with wallpaper paste. They measured 9’ at the highest point in the arch and about 15’ wide. The homeowner wanted a […]

This is one of those, “I have the greatest jobs in the world” posts.

I have to confess – when I was contacted to paint this mural, I had no idea who the Tuskegee Airmen were. I just did what I always do – I Googled Images for research. What I found interested and amazed me. Being the stepmother to 3 black men, I had kinda prided myself on […]

Can I just tell you how much fun it is to paint for little girls? Don’t get me wrong, I love my boys, and I love painting for boys. But there’s just something magical about little girls. Maybe it’s because I was one, huh? This mural-on-canvas is for a blogger buddy’s little girl. I traced […]

My favorite thing about painting commissioned murals is the collaboration with the clients. I love seeing and hearing their ideas and then translating them into wall art – especially baby murals. This couple knew they were expecting a little boy and chose Kidsline’s Antique Toys bedding. It’s a darling motif with old fashioned cars, boats […]
