Waptus Lake Tile

This picture was recently sent to me by someone who had bought this mounted tile piece at an estate sale. The seller had the original receipt from 1995. She paid $295 for it then. It sold at the estate sale for $250. See how art work appreciates over time? This is a picture of Waptus Lake in the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area, and it’s all different cone 5 oxidation glazes.

Hornbills

Here’s a really old one! I was at an art fair over the weekend and a woman came in and said I’d done a mural for her and her husband many years ago. I certainly remembered them because the guy took care of the hornbills at the Woodland Park Zoo. So she sent me this picture. It still looks good, but I can sure tell that my style has changed over the years.

The Hunt

Here’s another oldie but goodie. This client showed me this famous piece of South African rock art and wanted me to incorporate it into a story that encompassed the whole of her walk-in shower. It’s called The Hunt, and as it continues around the room, it represents hunting, death, rebirth, courtship, hunting, and death again.

Repeat Pattern

I don’t often reproduce commercial tile but there were enough of these to make it worth while, 110 of the square ones and 120 of the bullnose. I had decals made for the black outlines and then hand colored the spaces. I shouldn’t have counted how many spaces that is, but counting two coats on all of them, there were 12,660 of them. The original are by themselves to the right. To see some bathrooms more like what I usually do, go to https://www.paullewingtile.com/bathrooms.
