|
|
This mural was painted for a private indoor swimming pool in Buckinghamshire.
It is about 13ft high and 20ft wide and took about 18 days to complete - the trompe l'oeil mural depicts a Gothic folly and had to incorporate a portal window.

This decorative mural is a recreation of the famous leaping dolphins fresco that adorns the walls of the Queen's apartment in the Palace of Knossus, Crete.
It was painted as a demonstration piece for my book, 'The Trompe L'Oeil Bible' and is about 7 ft high.
Such a design would be ideal for a bathroom or swimming pool, with or without the crumbling fresco effect.

I painted this Peter Pan scene for a nursery room in Essex.
The colours were kept subtle and I painted the walls to resemble old parchment.

This trompe l'oeil mural was painted onto an outside wall for a private home in Essex.
The archway, tiles and decorative blocks have been painted to match a real archway on the adjacent wall.

This was painted for a children's playroom in a private home in Essex.
The mural covers the entire room and depicts wildlife from all over the world.

|
|
This was painted for a private home in Highgate, North London.
The client took some photographs of decorative paintwork whilst on a trip to Morocco and requested that I recreate the designs for his hallway ceiling.
The ceiling measures 3ft by 33ft and I painted the designs on custom made panels in my studio. Once the sections were installed I then went on site and touched up all the joins.
