Afon-y-Felin School Nature Murals

Finishing off the Kenfig project The final stage of the Kenfig mural was for me to install these hand painted vinyl stickers. All of the creatures are important species found at Kenfig NNR. Many of the creatures on the stickers are repeated on the main mural on the visitors centre, including; great crested newt; emperor moth; dark green fritillary; and poplar beetle. It is hoped that the stickers will help reinforce the pupil's knowledge and interest in the unique habitats around Kenfig. All the stickers were painted in acrylics by pupils from years 3,4,5 & 6 from the school. I added the drop shadows after the installation to give them a bit of 'pop'.

I'm loving the opportunity to transform the librar I'm loving the opportunity to transform the library at Ysgol Nant Gwenlli.

Hopefully by the time I've finished these 6 nursery rhymes I'll understand the Welsh too 🙂

I painted this today for Rich & Bev. The brief was I painted this today for Rich & Bev.
The brief was to bring a bit of seaside warmth as a backdrop to their hot tub.
I think it turned out nicely. 
Makes me want a deckchair and a pint. 

If you have an idea for a mural in your home, get in touch.

Let's hope me and Ginge don't have to find out 🤞🏻
The stuff is called Euroshield and it creates an invisible barrier to protect your work. 
It's sacrificial though, so if you wipe off any tagging then you need to reapply 2 layers ...

This is a couple of years old now, but it's still one of my favourite murals to date. 
I love the limited palette, the dreamy feel and the dappled light. 
All enhanced by the beautiful location in Cornwall.

The Enchanted Woods at night was a great venue and the perfect place to swing our lights. 
Great music, amazing lighting installations and a very happy mushy crowd of people.

I painted this a few years ago now and it's still I painted this a few years ago now and it's still love of my favourites. 
It was lovely not to have to rush this and to put all my time into creating all the gradients and reflections that make the image pop. 
I get these effects by layering multiple shades of the same colour, overlayed with multiple transparent shades. It's how I love to paint.
We stayed inside the caravan that I was painting and we had 400 acres of land to explore. It was beautiful.

This mural was made in exchange for our stay. 
Do you have a swap in mind?

Shambala was great. 
Our lightpainting went down a storm and we had so much positive feedback and so many happy (and amazed) faces. 
Let's do it all again!
