Here’s mural I did last year that I finally got pictures of. It features one of the lifts at that ski area. It also has, in the upper left corner, the Wild Rainiers, a much-loved ad campaign for Rainier Beer, that had people in beer bottle costumes running around in the woods. And in the lower right corner, hiding in the trees, a yeti. Not a Sasquatch, as you would expect in the Northwest, but a yeti.

This is a mural I did a few years ago for a church in California. To give you an idea of scale, these are 6” tiles. Most of the children in the picture are children in the congregation. I’ve done a number of custom tile murals for churches and would love to do more. If you know of a church that’s building or remodeling, or would like to add a tile mural, please have them contact me.

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.

This is this year’s senior class tile for the high school near Spokane. I’ve done this for them every year since 2006. Each year they have a contest among the seniors to design a tile for their class, which is displayed on a wall in the school cafeteria. It’s not a big impressive project like some of the bathrooms at https://www.paullewingtile.com/bathrooms, but it’s a fun project.

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.

Here’s another nice custom tile bathroom mural from the archives. It’s state of the art handicapped accessible and the clients specified “no snakes, no bats”. But there are frogs.

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).
