Here you can see the plant design taking palce on top of the soft colours and patterns....
Its is a cheerful, stylised almost folkloric design, but distinctly modern and expressive too.
More pictures soon!

New Pillow Project
I am starting these new pillows with what will be the backs....this way I can establish my colours and get a feel for the palette...The fronts will feature a variety of sea birds.....one bird per pillow, about 5-8 pillows...
Here are a couple of pillow backs in an earlier stage, and then finished..you can see the process a little.

Tropical Fish Mural Begins
Soon these stark white walls will be transformed into a painted aquarium of darting tropical fish, brilliantly coloured and having a great time.
I block in the fish sort of where I want them, and then begin putting on paint.
For the first part of the mural, I just put a lot of paint on, to make sure there is enough depth, (no pun intended) especially in the colours of the fishies.

Elevator Lobby Mural
Time for another visit to the Beach, via mural!
Later, these two areas will have flying pelicans, some beach side vegetation, a turtle, maybe some dolphins in the water, that sort of thing.
If I am allowed to, I really want to paint out/disguise some of the elevator paraphenalia: the buttons, the emergency access panel, and the light switch!
Elevators are interesting to work with. They lend themselves to a dramatic depiction of "Entering". Perhaps it's because they open for you; they don't seem as static as regular doors. Another technicality with painting elevators is the different edges have to match up, and the inside of the door has to be thought of. IE the parts, edges mainly, you see as you step OUT of the elevator. The ''Rude Mechanicals''. Almost literally.
This elevator lobby also has a side door.
The door will have the edge of a dock along the bottom, and a pelican sitting on a post stretching or looking up, or something. It will disguise the door handle.
Check back soon to see how this beach mural evolves!
