trompe l'oeil window
This trompe l'oeil (fool the eye) window is painted in a bedroom. The walls have been painted with a faux finish resembling yellow venitian plaster.
Doorway into the Baden countryside.

The trompe l'oeil doorway leads out of the bedroom and into the countryside.

The bathroom was painted in a pinkish-purple below chair-rail height. I chose to tie that color up into the main paintings. This is a type of monotone oriental style painting- focusing on tints (white added) and tones (black added) of one color (magenta). This wall cost about $100. No prepwork was needed- the oriental style painting was done directly on the homeowner's white wall. This is actually an unusual style of painting- 90% of the mural work MUST have some sort of basecoat before details can be added.
