Tropical Beach Themed Art

This mural is painted in the dining area in softer colors so as to be relaxing and make the dining area inviting & tropical as the
viewer "walks into the distant & peaceful ocean"...
The green columns echo other columns in the residence that were also faux treated in a verdigris marble technique to
match existing marble counters. (see below)
Above the mantel, the wall was treated to a soft  Belagio Marble technique especially created for this wall. (see below)
