Noah's Ark

 

 I had a lovely time painting this (1mx1m) canvas.  I think it's a brilliant ideas to have 'Noah's Ark' for a children's room.  It means the child can get to know their animals, colours and it helps to develop their imagination.  It took me 3 days to paint and I loved ever moment!!
The panda's were added in as it's the child's favourite animal.

Painted by Carren Lu, painted for my special little niece.

Here is the finished product. 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 protect against any moisture. To finish off I scattered little bumblebees everywhere! The client was so pleased.

Frozen Wall Mural

The frozen room is complete!! The background was painted by Artistic Touch, a snowy scene finished off with touches of glitter on the snow. Then Elsa and Olaf wall stickers were added. Matching the paint colours to the Frozen wall stickers, they match perfectly! I am so pleased with how this mural came out, it proves wall murals and wall stickers can work 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. 

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.
