My Own Work, Part 3

Welcome to the third and final post of the "Beach House Party Room Paintings" series! I finished off my mural painting 'spree' with a real big bang ... namely, re-decorating a massive rocket that formed the entrance to the Space-themed party room! More images can be seen in the Gallery at the BeachHouse website.

Fresh Flowers From the Market

Marche aux Fleurs by Edouard Leon Cortes

Flower Market, Madeleine by Antoine Blanchard

Flower Market Outside the Madeleine Church, 1890, by Jozef Pankiewicz

Flower Market in a French Town by Alfred Glendening

A Flower Market Along the Seine by Georges Stein

Thought I'd share some of the images I've found whilst researching for a painting that I'm about to start, with the subject matter being .... you guessed it; a flower market! I adore the Impressionist style and how the artists of this period captured light and 'mood' so effectively. 

Antoine Blanchard's painting is my personal favourite, but I am also intrigued with the story surrounding Marche aux Fleurs by Edouard Leon Cortes ... apparently the painting was left on a pile of donations at Easton, Marylands Goodwill store, at which point one of the staff decided to do some 'digging' as to the origin of the artwork, which resulted in the piece ending up at Sotheby's and selling at auction for $40,600! Whoever had that painting pinned down as 'trash' must be kicking themselves! 

My Own Work, Part 2

The 'Treasure Island' murals I painted for the second party room at The Beach House. More images can be seen on the official Beach House website under the 'Gallery' tab.

My Own Work

Thought I'd share photos of some more of my own work ... these are murals that I painted for a party room at a Kids Fun Centre in Perth called The BeachHouse. 

If you click on the above link to the official website for The BeachHouse, you can see more photos of my paintings in the "Gallery" section beneath the title "Underwater World". These are the largest paintings I've ever attempted and I had loads of fun working on them, although they took months to complete!
