Beach Murals

Mangrove Sunset Beach Mural (4' x 4')

This beach mural was painted above a fireplace in Naples, Florida in a niche already framed out above the mantel. I actually don't know what I like the most about this one, but I feel this is about the best sky I have ever painted.  Pat, my client, loves it and the birds she had me paint in the water by the beach reflected how she loves them. I studied the types of mangroves we have here in Florida before painting the detail of them and they turned out quite well. When this was finished, Pat gave me a Florida bird book published by someone she knows and I still to this day refer to that book when I want to identify my own sightings. Beach murals can make a room seem so peaceful.  Beach scenes from a blue sky to a sunset sky, aqua water to pale blue, reflect the mood (no pun intended) you are trying to set in the room.  Murals of this type can be as small as an art niche type to a mural as big as the room itself.  Bringing the beach mural inside is one way to ensure relaxation.  I have traveled all the coasts of this great nation from Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, onto Texas,  California, Oregon, the state of Washington, Georgia, the Carolinas and all up the Northeast coastline.  Every beach is different, from golden sands, white sands, coarse and fine, to glitter-like sparkling grey and black sands mixed with mica from volcanic rock breaking down, on the Northwest coasts.  Cannon beach in Oregon has large, round, black, flat rocks with smooth edges dispersed all over its beaches that make them very hard to walk on, but fun to try to keep your balance.   The beaches in Maine close to Canada are great where the water seems to move fast and furious to cut out the beaches there and make for an ever changing coastline.  I remember the Carolina beaches as very grassy and golden. 

Peaceful Sunset Beach Mural (18' x 6')

A large lanai wall can become a beautiful scene for your outdoor pleasure for many years to come. As you sit outside, it can bring a new point of view to look at, instead of a plain wall that is not very exciting at all. This now give a special feeling each and every time you enter your lanai area.  The Naples, Florida beaches are pristine and white.  I painted this beach mural on a lanai in Naples, Florida.It is very subtle and looks fantastic with using her existing tan wall color as the background.

Crater Lake, Oregon

A place I have been, of immeasurable beauty, where there is no beach at all, but 2000 ft. high cliffs surrounding this massive lake that was formed from 12,000 ft. high Mount Mazama, collapsing after a large eruption 7700 years ago.  The lake has now filled some of the caldera and is the most vivid, beautiful blue of all bodies of water I have ever seen.  I just had to throw in one of my favorite photos of this too!
