Ceiling Murals - Decorative Painting

Thomas Kehoe has created ceiling murals that brighten rooms and lift the spirit. Ceiling murals are especially effective for “lifting” the ceiling in areas where the height of the room, the texture of the ceiling, or the stark contrast to a larger room next door make the room feel small.

Decorative painting of birds, clouds and blowing leaves.

The molding under the ceiling has a scroll work of leaves in white. The sky gradually turns from a green tint, the color of the walls, to the blue of the sky.
Detail of bluebird on the ceiling fan.

The artist painted a blue bird on the ceiling fan to create the illusion that it flew down into the room and alighted there.

Decorative painting of flowers under the hummingbird begin to take on color as the leaves and flowers in the architectural design come to life as they touch the magic of the mural.
