Painting-Pilates Studio Mural

This week I embarked on another wall/mural Painting. This time it was at a Pilates Studio in the Southside of Chicago!

Inspired by the softer tones of a sunset/beach look, as well as painting the spelled out wording behind the Studio's Name- CORE (Create Overall Renewed Energy), this Large wall painting gave this small studio a beautiful new look!

Painting-Mural #3

Last night, I finished my 3rd mural! (So great!)

I love painting! So much. And because one of my life philosophies is Go Big or Go Home, I have always tended to paint Large. (The more color, the better!)

So when I get the opportunity to paint something HUGE like a mural..it's this crazy rush of an exciting challenge that an entire wall, has now become my own blank canvas.

Oh the possibilities! 

My super great cousin Erin, introduced me to her friend/neighbor who was in need of someone willing to give a splash of color and creative flair to her front entry/main stairwell. That's right, stairwell.

Again, I'm only 5'2, so when I saw the HUGE blank canvas that extends up a large stairway...

I took a deep breath. Smiled. And thought, Game On.


Inspired by Anthropologie's unique wall paper, "Dreamscape", 5 visits and 18 hours of work later..
