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

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

Zebra Canvas fits with the Interior Design

This Hand Painted Zebra Canvas by Carren Lu, was painted to fit in with the Interiors.
The reds and blues have a very British feel with an African twist.  I painted a red background onto the canvas to set off against the Royal Blue wall.  The canvas creates a big impact in the room, which I love!

Painted for Davidsons Homes. Anstey, Leicester.
