Refinishing Wood

Detail view of a wooden column with carvings which I refinished. The wooden columns were weathered and the paint was faded to a minimum, so the original hand painted look was completely gone before I was asked to refinish them.

Out-door Trompe l’oeil Mural

The window you see on the left wall next to the ivy is hand painted, the ivy too. It’s a trompe l’oeil mural which is French and means it is tricking the eye. The owl sitting in front of the window is painted of course too. It is possible to do a whole facade with windows, doors and greenery. If you ahve an out-door facade which has no windows send an email and we we can change this – it is cheaper than to built in real windows.

The mural was done after the painting “The Singing Waiter” by British painter Jack Vettriano. It is located in Studio City in a beautiful entertainer’s backyard with a bar, swimming pool and fountains.

Outdoor Mural for a bar in Studio City/Encino, private residence
The entertainment backyard of my client has a wonderful pool, a fountain and bar which needed a suitable background. Together we found a very nice design featuring a couple hanging out at a bar. It gives the illusion that the bar goes all around. If you have a backyard and you love to entertain a mural would make a difference.

Beach Mural Detail

Garage doors or the back of a garage are good walls for a beach mural. The wall just needs to be clean and should not have any cracks; the garage doors don’t have to be smooth, they need to be clean as well, so the primer and paint can be put on.

My client says: “I wake up and enjoy my beach every day – it always brings a smile to my face and heart. Thanks again, Helen R.”
The picture speaks for itself. The garage doors look so much better than before!

Moroccan Door Restoration

admin — Fri, 01 Jul 2011 17:03:17 +0000

This door was kept outdoors on a wall in the backyard, and after all the years the paint chipped and the colors faded. I was asked to restore the door. It was done in several steps: First the sanding which was quite some job. Then using a primer, a base wash then the paint itself and as last step an out-door sealer. This can be done with any out-door furniture or door. Need an estimate? Send an email.

Floral Mural for your Backyard

Transform your backyard into a low maintenance environment with blooming flowers such as Bougainvillea. They bloom throughout the year, don’t need water and no trimmings – so easy. I will paint them on your backyard wall, and within some days the wall has become a floral wall. Nice, isn’t it? See more: www.artcomm.us

How to Change Garage Doors into a Beach

admin — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 16:59:13 +0000

It’s not that difficult to transform garage doors into a beach mural. It was the dream of my client since 25 years to get the two garage doors done so she could look at a beach instead of a white wall from her bedroom. Finally she contacted me and within days the garage doors were turned into a beautiful beach landscape with palm trees, beach chairs and shells.
