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.
This is a little image I’ve done for a number of bathrooms, often resized or modified a little. You can order it at https://www.paullewingtile.com/shop/orcas-eagle.
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.
Just got this picture from a client, of a nice little rural installed in her kitchen. It’s a slightly larger version of one of my stock murals on the Shop page of my web site. To see all of those images, go to https://www.paullewingtile.com/shop.
Here’s another oldie but goodie. This is the lighthouse in St. Augustine, Florida, in a nice big custom tile mural for a bathroom. In real life, the lighthouse isn’t that close to the beach, but that’s the nice thing about a custom tile mural- you can move things around.
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).
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.

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).
The homeowner did a great job photographing this kitchen. I love how he staged the counters and the stove. Lots of people love chickens in their kitchens.
