This little mural got installed really quickly after it arrived. Sometimes these things take years, or months, but this one went up right away. It features the view from the home in California, with plants in the foreground from the garden there.
Here’s another image from my catalogue. I’ve done this one several times as you can see on my Shop page, https://www.paullewingtile.com/shop/heron-friends. There’s a picture of this mural installed in a kitchen.
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.
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.
Since I don’t have anything new and exciting to post here, I decided to show you a really old one. This is from maybe 1990 or so. It’s Wallace Falls, outside of Seattle. These people wanted an image that filled the niche but they didn’t want to pay for having every tile in the niche painted. That’s why it’s foggy. But that gave it a nice Asian feel. Still one of my favorites all these years later. To see more of my bathroom custom tile murals, go to (https://www.paullewingtile.com/bathrooms).
