Please scroll down the page to see the photos of the mural
One of my earlier murals. The dappled sunlight on the aging steps looks really gorgeous I think, and the sky was also successfully rendered, the plants and flower beds are pretty, however I think I would try to do them differently now.
Still it's lovely..

Caribbean Tropical Garden
mural - whole mural in its conservatory/dining room setting
It took two weeks to create this lovely garden scene, which tries to capture
the feeling of a beautiful sunny day in St Lucia! The white
brackets, which add support to the room's glass roof, were
incorporated into the mural design, creating the illusion of
a link between the room inside and the garden "outside". The completed
mural was coated in a layer of acrylic matte varnish for greater
protection and easier cleaning. |
Let's start at the bottom.. (my favourite bit)
