Got Room? How About A Custom Mural?!
by Cynthie Fisher |
I'm happy to offer this new service to my clients and future customers! What follows are examples of
a recent mural project in Minnesota for a collector.
This room is 1900 sq. ft, with 25 foot high ceilings, and many fine full-bodied mounts. All it needed was some pizazz on the walls to set off the display.
| | | the trophy room from outside |
| | | the first main wall before... |
I use latex house paint in custom colors I designed, and every type of brush, as well as an airgun and compressor for certain effects.
| | | the soon to be rainforest wall, before... |
Here I am working on some red river hogs...that's one of my advantages as a mural painter: I can add ANY animal to any scene depicted! Birds, reptiles, you name it. My client's trophy had been damaged, so I painted one for him instead!
| | | adding some forest buffalo
|
Another unique application; in certain instances, I will paint the body of the animal behind the shoulder mount, to add interest and create a realistic impression.
Here is the completed kudu display...and there's a leopard up on the rocks watching!
| | | adding a few lechwe to the swamp scene |
Another example of painting "beyond" the mount...a hippo this time.
The finished hippo...a tad of a challenge!
On to the last BIG wall, a depiction of Tanzania and Mt. Kilimanjaro...
| | | ...and a few days later, the results! |
| | | I added these elephants, zebras, giraffes and wildebeest to this scene |
| | | the Tanzania wall as it used to be... |
| | | some floor lighting to show off the savannah |
| | | I added the rest of the branches and leaves to this leopard mount |
| | | and finally, a wall of African birds! |
| | | the initial lay-in sets the mood |
Another challenge, a medieval stone castle in the Scottish Highlands! I'm painting this on a
canvas tacked to a wall.
adding the finishing touches to the castle stones
All done! This will be used as a backdrop for period photos of various Scottish clans at a
festival.
So, if this possibility intrigues any trophy collectors or art enthusiasts out there, feel
free to contact me. We will arrange a consultation and discuss fee options, as well as time required for your particular project. I have references and TONS of experience hunting and traveling in many countries
in Africa, as well as North America, Australia and New Zealand, Tajikistan, practically everywhere, that I can utilize to make your trophy walls a real experience for the viewer!
