This is a very recent project in which the client had seen a photo of a painted mantel and fireplace in a magazine, and wanted to duplicate it. In fact, they designed the entire edition to their home around the fireplace! Friend and fellow decorative painter Andreas Scholz contacted me to help out on the project.
We brought at least 10 different stencil designs to the site and mixed and matched elements from each stencil to come up with a similar, but unique finished artwork.
The first layers were stenciled in varying shades of gold, followed by hand painting in several shades of red, green, and brown.
The fireplace ended up being the perfect focal point of the room, which is what the clients had hoped for.

That is a BEAUTIFUL fireplace. What a great idea. You are quite talented. I just started a ceramics class myself. I am completely loving it. Art is so wonderful, so peaceful. Keep up the beautiful work!
Gorgeous project, Patricia! I really enjoy your work.
Thanks for leaving a comment on my mural blog. (I'm sure you won't mind if I link to yours in the sidebar?)
You really need some scaffolding, lol. Nice job!
