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'.

Here's Fred being totally unimpressed with my anam Here's Fred being totally unimpressed with my anamorphic illusion. 

I made this design at least 10 years ago on some cartridge paper and thought it might make a good illusion mural somewhere...

Thanks to @upfest for having us and the lovely peo Thanks to @upfest for having us and the lovely people @bristolbeerfactorytaproom for hosting our Lightpainting and looking after us all day. 

The room was a furnace 🥵, and we had a blast with every family and group that turned up to play. Even the Arsenal fans 😀 

Great enthusiasm and curiosity led to some fantastic playful creations

I've finished stage one of the Beech Tree mural. T I've finished stage one of the Beech Tree mural. This one was funded by CCBC. The hotel itself are going to fund the next phase. 
There's lots of brilliant work in the area by the @valleysstreetartproject ... This mural isn't related to the project, but I hope to be doing one soon. 

I'll be coming back to start the front, in the very near future.
It has been challenging in this heat, but I've loved every minute in Ystrad. 
So many nice people with kind words. 
I've done my best to give you a spectacular and uplifting artwork.  It's all in the details, the colour gradients and the tiny reflections.
I hope that you like it 🙏
