Train Station (Train Murals – Part 2)
To me, it just screamed “Train Station.” As I toured the church building for the first time, still under construction, I knew immediately what I could do. They had already asked me to paint a train in the Kid’s Ministry area and call it “The Grace Express,” but the thing that first struck me was […]
I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad (Train Murals – Part 1)
This video takes you on a tour of a church’s kid’s ministry center that was transformed with train-themed murals. It’s all aboard the Grace Express as locomotives are painted in every classroom, and railroad tracks are painted on concrete floors.
Nautical Nursery
You’ll have to pardon the pun, but it really was smooth sailing working on this Nautical Nursery. I love it when murals come together easily, and what made this job even more enjoyable was the fact I painted it for a former co-worker and his lovely wife. They’re expecting their first baby any day now, and […]
Bedroom Makeover (Part 1)
What started out as a small project, has now turned into a full-fledged Bedroom Makeover. I’m talking painting walls, painting furniture, upholstering a headboard, adding feet to a captain’s bed, and the list goes on. How did it happen? The same way all my projects do. I change one thing, and before I know it, […]
Children’s Playroom
When it comes to Children’s Playrooms, this one is about as colorful as it gets. It’s actually in a non-profit center for children in need. A friend of mine who was volunteering there a few years back, asked if I’d be willing to lend a hand giving this room a fresh coat of paint. […]
Simple Touches – Children’s Bedrooms
Sometimes it’s the simple touches that can make children fall in love with their bedrooms. A few cherry blossoms here… a couple of dragon flies there… and BAM! A once-boring bedroom becomes a fun place to hang out.
Frog Prince Nursery
One of the very first murals I ever painted was for an expectant mom who wanted a Frog Prince Nursery for her soon-to-be-born baby boy. He’s in 3rd grade now, but to this day, his nursery is still one of my favorite projects of all time. I think it’s because of the mother’s fabulous taste. […]
Teenage Bedroom
Quick! Grab the camera! This teenage bedroom is CLEAN… and heaven knows it won’t stay that way for long. It’s got a pretty spiffy paint job too, if I do say so myself. Just the fact I used the word, “spiffy” should have my daughter’s eyes rolling…right…about…NOW! Ahhh, the joys of raising a teenager! Before […]
