My client Mike has a unique and beautiful Craftsman-syle home with a great balcony nook that Mike uses for sitting and relaxing. As an outdoor enthusiast, Mike was interested in bringing his relaxation nook to the next level by filling it with one of his favorite views from a hiking spot in New Hampshire… which is where a BlackBeak Studios mural entered his plans!

The space is defined by 3 half-walls in a “U”, with a small railing overlooking the lower level on the balcony side. To make the experience truly immersive, we settled on wrapping the mural across all 3 walls. Mike had photos of the location he wanted to use – with rocks in the foreground, a lake in the middle-ground and distant pine trees in the background – capped off with reflections of the tress and clouds in the water… and of course a campfire!

As always, I started the process by painting a to-scale version of the mural for Mike to see before I started on his walls. With his approval of the design, I was on to painting the final mural!

Below are some of the stages of painting this to show the process… leading up to the final product that Mike is sitting and enjoying today!

Enjoy!!
