A blossom tree painted on a bedroom wall.

I've painted lots of blossom tree murals and the brief for this one was to keep the mural soft, delicate and not cartoonish.

To help to keep the artwork soft and towards realism rather than cartoony or stylised I omitted lots of detail and worked in layers of tonal shapes knocking areas back with glaze washes.

The top of the blossom tree arches over the wall and petals gently blow in the breeze.

This is phase two of a mural commission for a nursery school, this time the upper floor. The downstairs had a deeper woodland feel, but for this floor I opened it up to give the impression that the climb up the stairs was a climb out of the lower woodland and this scenery was a clearer view of the rolling hills.

I wanted to create a simplified watercolour feel for this mural with subtle  blends and tonal layering.

When I painted the walls downstairs there were no plans to turn the upstairs into further classrooms. Subsequently I had to creep the horizon up the stairway as a 'hillside' and begin a 'new' horizon upstairs. A tree painted on the stair wall created a beautiful transition between the two floors.

Here is the furthest end of the landing corridor. 

I painted the wildlife in a loose watercolour style. There are fifty animals painted in total upstairs and on the stairway.

Some of my favourite murals are when the clients' ideas meet my own and together a new vision is created.

I wanted to steer away from the overdone bold red, black and white format and introduce some soft tones in a tasteful style.

The sky is painted with a soft blue and muted ochre and the poppy field contains hints of green and brown.
