Vemont still.

I will be sleeping in my own bed tonight (and for at least the next 2 nights! whoo-hoo!) here a few shots of the room after we got up the stars.




And some images of a bathroom there where we added some circles.




And a image of a typical Vermont residence. This is not the guest house we are staying in.

Vermont

So I am here in Vermont again. I am hopping to get this Telescope silo finished up this time. There was a lot of repair since they had us do the plaster stripes prior to finishing the trim. In addition we are putting the same plaster on some removable panels on the ceilings of the connection area between the house and the silo. Then we are putting stars in random coin sized stars on the walls and ceilings. These are a few images prior to the gold stars. I think we will be done with the stars by tomorrow so I will put some final images up then. The colors in these images are really washed out, the fire-engine red isolating shaft will still look a little out of place till the gold stars are in. I think you can tell from the image it is a highly polished automotive finish.


Also included are images of the inside of the observatory up where (the telescope is) dome. I painted this on a previous trip. I hope these aren't too dark to see anything. It is a kind of random pattern of simplified celestial objects airbrushed in automotive metallics in about 12 different colors.

originall layout

So here is what the original layout looked like. As you can see it was pretty much completely planned out before I started to put paint on the wall. Not included is the background pattern nor the colors, though we did work those out on full scale samples as well. All together well over 3 weeks worth of prep, for a mural that took three days to paint, and was up for a little less than a month before being painted over (what they usually do to showcase houses when they are done with the showcase).

Additional Images

These are for Molly, but I am going to pretend others are interested as well.

Interesting Internet Find

I recently found some published photos of a mural I did as a promotion at a Showcase house in San Francisco. I have shown a couple of you already, and haven't posted it because of the interesting details in the attributions at the end of the photo set. But they are really good images and I really love how the mural turned out so the photo set is here. I don't really understand how this kind of thing usually works but thought i had worked out something specific with the designers. Obviously, I misunderstood. I would love to hear what you think of it, especially those who haven't seen any pictures of it before. i think it is one of my favorite kids rooms i have done so far. If anyone wants to see some additional snapshots without any furniture (just the mural) let me know and I can post some of those.

Mural

Pictures of a kids' bunk-room I have been working on in Park City. It is kind of based on a mural I did a couple of years ago in North Carolina. The beds are made of tree trunks and the "ladders" are stumps of limbs. Emmaline came up to help one day.
