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.

Birda at Mowich Lake

This is a mural I did some time ago, called “Birds at Mowich Lake”. The birds are all from a list the clients had seen on their property. They do not have this view of Mount Rainier, but they wanted it for their bathroom. To see this and more custom bathroom tile murals, go to https://www.paullewingtile.com/bathrooms.

Wallace Falls

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).

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.
