Charlie Chaplin Mural – A Hollywood Legend

Charlie Chaplin
Charlie Chaplin

Charlie Chaplin was one of the greatest Hollywood Stars.  At a time when sound was not an option in the movies, and where black and white were the only colors, his artistic abilities were indeed outstanding.

It was an honor and a pleasure to paint him in life size as a mural amongst other Hollywood stars like Marilyn Monroe and James Dean.

The mural is from a scene of the movie “Goldrush”. I am not sure if this is the movie where he ate a sole of a shoe instead of a steak…?

If you like some of your Hollywood stars painted on the walls, send me an email

It is a great addition for a game room or office spaces.

Fun Mural for Kids – the Animal jeep

Kids Jungle Mural

Kids Jungle Mural

I did this mural for a nursery and my clients found the template on muralsforkids.com as wall paper but they wanted a “real” mural and hired me.

The jeep driver is a sweet monkey and because he is racing sometimes, his friend the gorilla, needed to wear glasses.

The Zebra is a bit freaked out because of the high speed but the Giraffe just loves it! The snake is having fun in the front. What a fun mural!

Romantic Old World Italian Mural with Angel

Old Master Mural

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…

Cabinet in French Country Style

Unfortunately I don’t have a picture of the cabinet before I refinished it! It was all painted black and had no knobs but many scratches! Hard to believe…

I sanded it almost down but left patches of black paint. The first finish was antique white  and then combinations of different glazed.

The knobs I found at the stylish store “Anthropologie” and they fit perfect.
it has  a shelf inside and an upper drawer. Selling it for $165.

Mural with Roses – The perfect Nursery Mural

Nursery Mural

Nursery Mural

Karyssa’s bed is surrounded by many roses and butterflies – this romantic nursery mural is located in Granada Hills and I did it for a young couple who expected their first baby.

The name sign is hand painted; the roses are rather old fashioned and would also fit as well into a French country styled home.

The alternative to wall paper: Hand painted wall paper with roses, if you like floral art and want to add something special to your home.

French Design Ceiling

French Design on a Ceiling

This Design is so French as it can get. My client’s home was throughout decorated in French style and when the dining area was remodelled they installed a sort of cathedral ceiling. 

Without the faux finished background and the design the four parts of the ceiling were not visible at all. 

I choose gold and copper for the ornamental painting and a very subtle faux finish in the brownish tone of the adjacent walls. It looks awesome with the crystal chandelier in the middle.

Hollywood Star Marilyn Monroe Mural

Marilyn in Art – the book                                                          Marylin Monroe – the mural

She is unforgettable, she was one of the greatest actresses this world had ever seen – Marylin Monroe.

Some time ago I was asked to paint some Hollywood stars in life size on a wall for an office. We painted James Dean, Charlie Chaplin, Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn.

The mural can also be seen in a book called “Marilyn in Art”.

The Circus is in Town!

Circus Mural

Circus Mural

 
This happy circus mural used to be in the Burbank mall in a child day center before the Army made a recruiting office out of the space.
Of course they did not keep the mural but the walls are not camoflashed either…

I created this mural in the evenings after the business hours when all the kids where gone. 

Well, it is gone and many kids and parents could enjoy it.
