Happy Herbs Mural

Lismore, Northern NSW

The Happy Herb shops promote wholistic, healthy lifestyles, naturally. They are passionate about plants and offer a diverse range of information resources and are a networking hub for the local community.


The original design by a WA Artist for Happy Herb Shop in Freemantle, Western Australia.

The first step was to get our blank canvas.

Working in tandem with the painting of the walls Elly is in the process of creating a 'Tree of Life' out of bamboo, paper & fabric.

 
The most difficult part of the mural, the gradated sky!

Did a few trial runs… the original process didn’t work [much to my dismay! ] so tested out a few different strategies which resulted in the creation of four new paintings appropriately called the 'Sky Boards', to view them go to FB page.

 The Final Shot! BEAUTIFUL!

Am so very pleased with the outcome of this project :D 
Can't wait for Paul to finish up with the cabinetry & see what the final outcome is!

I also made sure to leave one little surprise for Talithat to find....
One lovely little Lady-Bird hidden amongst the foliage :D

Artist's Favorites

Ok, let's ge this started with one of my favorite paintings...



'The Devil Knows Your Dreams'
Mixed Media on Board, Framed
64 x 74cm

Fondly refered to as the "Devil" by my closest friends, this lady is by far my favorite peice these last couple of years.

She is a blend of her structured outline and chaotic background, reflecting an inner turmoil that is being barely held under control. Her expression can be difficult to interpret, often changing depending on the mood of the viewer.

The Devil is a painting that simly breathes with life, I feel she epitomises a favorite quote of mine,

"Joyful Abandon - The ability to lose oneself in the moment, while still holding true to yourself."
