Words of Wisdom...

This is some of the most challenging lettering work I have done to date. The entire mural is over 6' tall and was done on a 25' wall in our local church. I used a hydraulic lift to get to the wall. The lettering was made to order by the Mad Stencilist. They did an excellent job of creating a giant series of stencils for me to use to create this mural using our church's motto.

These are some of my best examples of stenciling in a “trompe l’oeil” style.

Pronounced “trump loy,” this literally means to paint such that you “trick the eye” into believingthe items are real.

It calls for a lot of attention to detail and shading, but the effect is pretty nice - don’t you think?

This tone-on-tone effect can provide quite a dramatic look.

For this room, I only used three colors - white, Payne's Grey (a very deep blue/grey), and Moon Yellow.

This plant stand motif was acutally commissioned by the man of the house. He does most of the cooking was wanted something perennially beautiful to look at while he was in the kitchen. These blooms will never fade - promise!!

This client was updating an 80's kitchen with little available wall space. She repainted her cabinets and we created beautiful unique fruit/vegtable motifs to bring color and character to her "new" kitchen.
