The kitchen of the same home has this stove hood which I painted with a faux background that played off the paint on the walls and the granite countertops. The lower edge was primed plywood and I painted that to match the existing cabinetry. The decorative painting of a grouping of grapes, pears and olives extend the Italian theme into this room, as there was not a lot of wall space for other artwork.

Tuscany in the Suburbs
This mural was painted in the inset section of a pre-fab poured concrete fireplace, and the fireplace surround was faux painted to look as if it were hewn from an old, weathered piece of stone. The mural is a typical landscape from the Tuscany region in Italy, featuring a vineyard. Many new homes in the area have this kind of fireplace and the options for painting and making it really stand out are endless.
