Brand Library, Glendale

Brand Library in Glendale was built as a private home in 1904. Using photos of the original, the ceiling murals were recreated  in four different rooms. I Painted the filigree and supporting delicate swirls on the curved cove ceilings. A pounce pattern was made from the tracings of the original and transferred to the ceiling as a guide.

First, the field was sprayed with a color gradation from dark to light from the picture rail upwards.

Then, meticulously painting the individual flowers accents and lines in the style from 1904.
