I know you think you recognize this Tuscan Style Mural… but it is my own morphing of some other art and then I painted it on the actual wall.
The niche over the firplace is molded in drywall and textured the same as the surrounding walls, as is the mantle.
Gettitng a ladder up to this area was a problem… the hearth of course can't be moved. So to do some of this, I had to paint while sitting on the mantle and turning to actually be painting backwards.
What I wouldn't do to get a smile from a homeowner.
Finding a piece of art for this area became a problem for the home owner… Problem Solved!

Hi Debra,
I was surfing the net for some ideas on Tuscan decor and came across your work. It is absolutely beautiful. I’m a decorative painter and have been planning a similar mural for a wall in my home. I want to make a Tuscan window with a landscape background, surrounded by bricks arched like your fireplace one. You certainly are an inspiration.
Sincerely,
Mary Ann Johnson
