A Midsummer Night's Dream

My latest mural project was inspired by the Shakespeare play. Enveloping the entire room, it depicts a clearing in a grove of trees on a beautiful evening just after dusk. There's a golden light on the horizon and the sky is darkening overhead as the stars emerge.

In keeping with the Gothic castle architecture of the home, the walls are textured and incorporate large oval "bumps" in the plaster. This required the use of a small artist's brush for most of the work. Four weeks and counting, I should finish this week. I hope to post more photos when the room is finished and re-furnished.

Imagine lying on the bed in this enchanting guest room. When the lights go off, the stars have a faint glow-- seriously.
