simple design = big change!
sketch for silhouette mural: run spot run!I recently completed a deceptively simple silhouette mural, for a veterinary ophthalmology practice in San Francisco. This mural is designed for a bumpy, angled, and very long hallway wall.
For an assignment like this the two most important things are a good drawing, and the right color.
The wall "before" was stark white, in an uneven 36 foot long sloping hallway. Work in progress: Just painting the wall blue had a tremendous impact on this space.
bulldog and horse see eye to eye!The client asked that the design feature a variety of animals, emphasize the importance of sight, as well as show interaction between the animals and their human companions.
Here are some more details:

You can see this mural in person at the office of Veterinary Vision in San Francisco.

the great butterfly hunt!
Both the reception area and the hall now have a nice view!

You summed it up.....it IS all about color and design. I think you gave them much more than they expected! It reminds me of 40's children's book illustrations. Love it.
Loving this, Lynne!
This is lovely, contemporary with a nostalgic feel to it. Very cool.
I love this mural! So detailed and so elegantly simple. Wish I could walk down the hall a couple of times!
thanks, all. it was a bit of a brain teaser to include so many animals without getting cluttered. but i love a challenge!
Magnifique,
