Beach scene
This is one wall of what will be a tub surround. This will go on your left as you look into the tub enclosure. The back wall will have a sunset and a surfer riding a wave.
Another Heron
The great blue heron continues to be the most requested bird for tile murals, all over the country. This one just found a home in Virginia. It’s china paint on commercial tile.
Dogs at the Beach
This shower features the clients’ three dogs on the beach at their cabin on Priest Lake, Idaho. Not all the dogs were alive at the same time, but they are here! This was all done with china paint on commercial tile, from photos they provided.
Flowering Cherry Tree
Here’s a new one. It’s a flowering cherry tree in a Japanese sume brush style. It’s done on 12” x 24” porcelain tiles for one wall of a shower. The yardstick indicates where the tile setter will trim the tiles to fit the space. I never trim the tiles ahead of time because whenever I have done that, they have never fit right.
Heron Spa
I’ve done this Heron & Friends design many times, usually for either a kitchen backsplash or the back wall of a shower enclosure. Here it’s little bigger than I normally make it and installed in a spa or sauna.
Small forest scene
This little piece will be going into the back wall of a very small shower. It’s only 29” wide. It’s not painted all the way out to the edges of the tile because it will be trimmed to fit in a niche of field tile.
Sunset on Lake Superior
A nice piece that just went out the door this week. This is from a picture of Lake Superior that the client sent me. This will go into the back wall of their shower. It’s china paint on commercial tile. You’re not going to get this kind of variety or subtlety of color with any other ceramic medium.
Another tropical fish mural, part 3
This is the third wall of this large mural, the back wall behind the tub and below the window. There will be some of the wavy water stuff over the window, but no fish up there.
Another tropical fish mural, part 2
Here’s the second side wall of this three-wall mural. It featiures a great white shark, because the client once went diving with them.
Small Orca Mural
This is one of the smaller pieces I’ve done lately, only 6 6” x 6” tiles, but it will make a charming accent in a shower.
