Mural - Cottage Bedroom

This is a beautiful example of how personalized mural paintings can be. The client that commissioned me to paint this cherry blossom tree, had a feeling what she wanted but no real image of it. She and her husband had recently bought this beautiful old period cottage in the rural county of Shropshire. They fell in love with all its old features, stunning timber beams throughout, but felt their bedroom wall was a vast space of white that needed a lift. After discussing their likes and dislikes, the client mentioned cherry blossom but said she wasn't keen on too many flowers. Instead she mentioned liking birds and butterflies, so this gave me enough information as a design brief.

The colours I have used in creating the Hummingbird and Butterflies were chosen to also match with personal items of bedroom furniture so to create a connection throughout. I also left spaces along the branches for the owners to later place small family photographs hanging down and other keepsakes. This in itself will decorate the tree more and make their bedroom a personalized sanctuary.
