Winnie-The-Pooh Bedroom and En-suite

 

A busy week in London hand painting a Winnie-the-pooh bedroom for a special little guy! The Winnie-the-pooh theme runs right across all three walls, framed around a tent bed. Also I hand painted cabinet doors for the en-suite bathroom, which were then varnished. To finish off I scattered little bumblebees everywhere! The client was so pleased.

Calming Magnolia Canvas

I painted this piece of artwork for a hallway to create calm and beauty. I kept neutral tones to suit the home, using an off white background lifted the white magnolia flowers. I chose to paint the magnolia flower as it one of my favourite trees, full of beauty and grace. The flowering of the magnolia tree is something I look forward to ever year.

Dr Seuss Canvas

Have an empty stairwell? why not have your favourite quotes from Dr Seuss hand painted on a 3 meter long canvas, to give you the encouragement you need as you go down those stairs to start your day!! My client did:) Such a brilliant idea!

 The background of the canvas was painted to match the wall colour (The Little Greene Paint Company – Limestone) and then I hand painted all the quotes in black with Dr Seuss at the base.

This was painted for ‘Ensoul – Interior Architecture’, in Spencer Park, Wandsworth.

Little Girls Room - Blossom Tree Wall Mural

Dining Room Feature Wall

‘Who needs wallpaper when you’ve got a paint brush?’ I’ve always wanted to paint an enlarged wallpaper design onto a wall and I thought the dining room would be the best place for it. I chose a floral design and brought in the colours from the living room through to the dining room to make the design flow.

Create Calm with a Splash!

 

Finally having a home means you can be creative and use all those ideas that you’ve been saving. I used dusty blues and mochas to create warmth in the living room. I hand painted this canvas to pull this scheme together.

Paddington Bear Bedroom

I absolutely love this room!  I think Paddington Bear is a classic theme for a childrens room, perfect for a boy or girl.  I hand painted this 3 meter high Paddington Bear Mural for a little girls room in Putney for April Hamilton Interiors.  I worked with the colours of the fabrics used for the scheme to make sure the whole design pulled together. 

Hand Painted Blossom

 

 

A Hand Painted blossom branch for a Master Bedroom in Putney, complete with silver leaf on the branches and tiny Swarovski crystals in the flowers. The overall design adds a touch of elegance to the room.  The silver leaf mirrors the fabric used on the bed and the down lighters in the ceiling catch the crystals on the blossom mural.  I think this mural could be used in any room, perfect for a dining room and of course a bedroom.

Family Guy - Family Portrait

I had a client who loves 'Family Guy' and came up with an ingenious idea for a Christmas present. He wanted to have a family portrait of his family drawn in the same style as 'Family Guy', including nosey neighbour and every little detail ...that made it his family.
I hand drew the design from many photo's, then scanned it into the computer. I coloured it all using Photoshop and then got a company to print in onto canvas.
I was so pleased with the result and so was the client!

 

Horse Jumping

For all those horse lovers, here is a mural that I painted which is very clever.  Use the head board as  a horse jump, it's very effective. Also this mural is perfect for a little girl right to her teens.  The use of violets and greys keep the design modern and is suitable for any style of home.

Jessie J Mural

A photograph of the Jessie J room complete with a hand painted wall mural of Jessie J finished off with Swarovski crystals on her earrings. - 4.68 x 2.4m painted in 2 days with Dulux Matt Emulsion.

Oriental Abstract Painting

I love this style of art, simple yet very powerful.  'Inspired by oriental artwork which used inks and strong brush strokes' I ended up painting four of these for a living area and I loved how the use of fabrics and accessories worked with this artwork.  I added a clear varnish to the finished piece, which enhanced the depth of the black and then the client had each piece framed in a antique silver frame. Canvas - 120 x 90cm
