Cave painting Kitchen Backsplash Tile Mural

This kitchen tile backsplash mural just got shipped off to Montana. It features cave painting imagery from neolithic France and Spain, as well as petroglyphs from the American Southwest. This custom tile mural will go on several areas of the kitchen backsplash.

Lake Murray

Here’s another one that took a long time to get pictures of. This is a map of Lake Murray in South Carolina. The client had a large tile cut to the correct size and shipped it to me with a full-size very accurate and detailed outline of the lake where he lives. I just traced it onto the tile, did the outline with a pen and china paint, and then filled it in. Not very creative, but I actually kind of like jobs like this. Something very out of the ordinary.

Yeti kitchen

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.

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.

Paintbrush & Bee

This is an acrylic painting but it could very well be a tile. It’s 12” x 24”, and I could put the same thing on a tile of that size and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, at least from a picture. It would look great in a kitchen backsplash.

China Paint & Overglaze book

It has come to my attention that it says on my web site that my book is sold out. Last time i sold one myself, I forgot to update the inventory numbers on my website. American Ceramic Society has plenty on hand and they promise to never let it go out of print. I also have plenty on hand, and if you want one, please order through my website directly from me, as I get a lot more of the money from each copy that way. To order go to (https://www.paullewingtile.com/books-dvds/china-paint-overglaze-by-paul-lewing).
