J Welsh: Hand Painted Wall Murals – Gallery
This is for a local shop, to use as a backdrop for the fancy Christmas trees they sell.
I had a lot of fun painting it.
All latex paint.
(sorry about the cheesecake shot first)
Love….Jill

Sort of job I’d like to be doing more of! I have done some trompe l’oeil type works and pictorial signs, they are on here somewhere but dont know how you would find ’em !!!
-
Wonderful Jill….you must have gained such job satisfaction from that!
-
Wow that looks great, really really cool Jill
-
Great job Jill, love the flow of that. Will look amazing with greenery around it. Be sure to get a pic of it when they dress the set!

Thank you.
The idea came from a catalog the lady had, with santas all through it.
But she didn’t want any Santa images.
So I did just the trees, and talked her into adding a rural farm scene (because that’s what it’s like where I live) with a stubble field.
I did version of the trees, sketched on acetate then projected onto the wall at random, painted with a roller and 1" foamies.
The cardinal is because there will be three more panels, one featuring a picture from the catalog with a deer in front of trees with cardinals in his stylized antlers.
The other two panels will have sort of a gnomish woodland creature (reminiscent of Harry) and a snowman. I wanted to do a scarecrow with a withered pumpkin head but she didn’t care for that sketch.

Cracking atmospheric work Jill. 😀
-

Look’n good Jill. This should lead to more cool work. Make up a flier and get the word out

Thanks Duncan.
They want me to bring in some bizcards so maybe I will get some more mural work.
These are three former windows in the same room, day one.

I bow to your superior talent, what more can I say.

Jill I really love it.
Question. What was your criteria for the darker sky colour? You have used some branches to frame the colour change, and it really works! -
Jill…you are a star!
Great technique to achieve the effect of light and dark and the snow flakes perfectly balanced. It’s easy to over do something like this,adding a little bit more than necessary (if that makes sense).
well done my girl
-
stunning! 😮

Simon, the darker sky thing was really just a happy accident.
I started off at the bottom and worked my way up, periodically stepping back to check my progress. I found I liked the darker sky up top because it somehow added depth/height.
Plus I was kind of tired of the 10′ ladder after working 7 hours at the deli each day prior to painting. I never get to sit down there.
😀
Martin, I know what you mean about the balance of the snowflakes, it would be easy to go overboard. My friend Bruce always says "Art is knowing when to stop", and I worried that I might go too far.
The other panels are going to have the same effect but with more detail and metallic treatments.
Thanks for the nice words. This has been a very rewarding project. -
lovely work as always jill, your looking well in your cheescake pic 😉

They’re fantastic young Jill!
Have you thought about releasing those as a Christmas card collection too? They’d have to be slightly smaller of course 😕
Did you project these or draw straight on to the wall?
Keep the pics coming they’re a delight to see. -
Thanks Neil.
(young? Only 3 weeks shy of 50 now ugh)
This was a combination of projector and ad-lib drawing, and just plain freehand.
My mate had my projector for over 3 years and I practically had to pry it back off of him. He says he needs it back ASAP.
🙄
The last phase is lettering a phrase on the wall to direct patrons upstairs.
I may use the "Misfit Toys" font. -
