Murals by Cecilia Price

This one is in my living room. It's oil and very big, notice the faux finish on the walls also.

This painting is a composite of pictures I took at a lake in South Carolina. The "frame" around it is made up of painted 2 x 2" tiles, and iridescent pebbles, all glued on with a hot glue gun.

 

This is a HUGE mural I did in the teachers' lounge at the Beauregard High School.

Can you see the castle in the background?

Couldn't you just pick it up and walk off with it?

 

This mural is in my bathroom. It's all acrylic and glazed with polyurethane, water based.

This is not really a mural, but sort of. The "stones" are fake, sculpted with joint compound and a trowel. This is in my dining room. There are other murals in there, and this one is due for a change one of these days. This was very easy.

First, I painted the area with dark green latex paint.

Then I went out and brought in vines, and pine branches, and other things and stuck them right in the wet paint!

I then waited an hour or so, and sprayed around the foliage with gold spray paint, and some light blue spray paint near the top.

The effect is wonderful! I then threw away the vines, etc. This is SO easy. One can do a whole wall this way for a unique look.

The other two like this have been changed to the following look. And this one will someday match.

This was my first project in this house. It's a faux stained glass window. I designed it, painted it with acrylic paints, glued some iridescent pebbles for the grapes, and then squirted some joint compound out of a cake decorating bag to make the 3D work. They I painted the 3D work with nail polish. This was a lot of fun!

This is not exactly a mural but I had a lot of fun doing this.

This is my famous purple fence. There was a scupernong vine coming up from the other side of it, so I painted vines on the fence to come up and meet the real one. You have to look hard to see where they meet!
