: Bird’s Nest for a bedroom

The bird’s nest is a sweet feature for a children’s bedroom, a nursery or any room in a home which is decorated in Country style.

It could also be very well in the kitchen over the door or the stove or any corner. It adds a natural touch to all kinds of rooms and interior design.

Romantic Old World Italian Mural with Angel

: sleeping angel

The sleeping angel is part of a very romantic mural featuring one of greatest European ballerinas.

In-midst a French old world landscape the angel has no intentions, no interference – it is pure - it is a forgotten part of a world which was full of detail, romance and love.

If I could go back in time I would go back when life was easier and you could find the love for details everywhere. If you see the Ballerina on my website you will understand…

Asian Mural for Diningroom or bathroom

Do you like the Asian style of interior design? I did this Bamboo Mural for a dining room and it made such a big difference. My client had many Asian accents in her home and the Bamboo wall made the dining room look perfect. Such a mural can be in a hallway or living room as well as in a bathroom. In fact it looks like hand painted wall paper and such a look adds some sophisticated touch to the space.

Faux Finishes for any rooms

: Faux finish with ornamental drawings

Faux Finishes are not out!
If you might have thought that this traditional wall finish is not trendy any more, you must know that it is still an option to bring life into your home.
I have done many faux finishes in homes which were completely white. All the walls. The hallway, the bathrooms – white, white, white with no contrast at all.

For a mansion in Bel Air I faux finishes these 3 niches in the hallway and added French style ornamental drawings inside.

Foxtrott of the good ol’ days!

A romantic mural after the painting of N. Lancret – the progress

admin — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 00:30:00 +0000

A 17th century mural after the painting of Nicholas Lancret (1690-1743). Let’s become romantic…

This is a blank wall. Look at it. Do you see anything special? No, it’s just a wall in a room which is the dining room of a private residence in the Bel Air area of Los Angeles.
My own artistic viewpoint: A challenge. Need for creation. Empty space. Liveless space. I searched and found a wonderful painting which was finally chosen by the client.

The draft for the mural can be seen at the end of this blog.

Right side of the wall, next to the door. I decided to paint a french landscape which was typical for the 17th century paintings.

The angel is sleeping – tranquility is the keyword.

The landscape is growing, more trees and bushes. Roses around the angel – it’s timeless. No need to rush. Tranquility.

People are entering the scene. Musicians playing old instruments.

A girl – still in no motion. Flower in her hair. A little smile…

The musicans come alive.

The star, the highlight of the mural is beginning to come into existence. It’s a beautiful lady…

Here she is:
Mademoiselle Marie de Camargo. One of the first famous ballerinas in Europe. She might have been forgotten but when I found her it made me feel happy. She is history. She is wonderful. She is dancing forever…

Left to the ballerina there is a handsome boy who plays the drum and the flute at once.

Landscape again, a lake, soft background. Cloudy sky. It’s a romantic summer’s day. Tranquility.

The whole Mural is done. Duration: 6 weeks.

And here is the draft and the painting of Nicholas Lancret:
