So very happy to share that my very large mural has been delivered to its new home! We were blessed with the ideal weather conditions for the installation as the mural is situated on an outside deck. It looks amazing on the wall, so vibrant, and so full of life and energy!

Thank you to my client for the incredible commission and to friends and family for their help with getting this delivered and installed. I’m so fortunate to have such amazing people in my life. 🥰

There are 21 different flowers in this mural, can you name them all? 🌺

After five months, I’ve finally completed my latest painting and third commission for this year - a very large and very vibrant floral mural.

This is by far my biggest piece yet, at 4’ wide and over 6’ tall. The brief was for a whimsical floral garden with oversized blooms, bold colours, and a trellis. Flowers were selected by the client, arrangement and colours by the artist.

Painted on plywood with Golden Fluid Acrylic Paint, the mural has just finished curing for two weeks after being varnished and will be installed in its final home soon. I can’t wait to see it in place!

I found an easel at the ReStore for an amazing price, and the cool thing is it’s exactly like the one I already have! Both easels have two supports so I can have four paintings on the go. This works well for the way I paint, using many layers there’s a lot of drying time!

Hand painted recessed letters by Ellen Coburn, Acrylic on wood, 9”x 20”

I was asked to hand paint the letters black so they would be more visible (a router and template were used to carve the letters into the wood). After sanding the inside of each letter, I covered the surface with painters tape and carefully cut away to create precise masking. I applied primer, several coats of black acrylic paint, and a thin line of gold paint to highlight each letter. I used a satin spray varnish to finish and really love how the wood grain turned out.
