Chinese Landscape Mural by Nicole McClain

This chinese landscape mural was inspired not only by my love for chinese culture but also to have a painting to "escape and walk into." Using a more horizontal canvas creates a wider angle and allows the imagination to travel across and through the painting.

Stay tuned for this work in progress to be completed.

Family Crest Mural by Nicole McClain

The canvas measures 18" x 24" done with acrylic paint. The details in this are nearly as complex as the panda mural because this painting represents a family code of arms dated back to the 1500's - each leaf, color, shape has a specific meaning to the family.

Finished Family Crest Mural (scroll, name, sword, details finished)



I was given a very rough black and white outline of what the final piece should look like and what colors should be used where.


It was not easy to decipher, but the soon to be owner of this piece was ecstatic with the results!
