Trompe l'oi

 

     Trompe l'oeil simply means fool the eye.  This age old painting technique has been use in home decor since the Greeks and Romans began to paint with perspective.  During the Italian Renaissance it flowered and became a staple of religous and domestic decoration.  We specialize in both scenic and architectural designs. You will see samples of both in our slide show.  We can design murals for your project from simple architectural embelishments to complex compositions that can fill a room.  We often antique our murals to give the impression that they were painted long ago.  The first 3 photographs on this page's slide show are by Reba Graham.
