School Holiday Peace

It is week 2 at my Southall school and it is the half term holiday so there are no children about and very few teachers. Only a short 3 and a half day week this week as Monday was a Bank Holiday and Friday the caretaker wanted to shut up early as there was no-one around. I still managed to get a fair amount done, though.

As you can see, I have started on the left and have been painting the major objects in the mural one at a time. It's slow going painting onto brick as the irregular surface means that you can't do grand sweeping brush strokes but I am really enjoying painting this one as I'm getting lots of positive feedback from the public that walk by.

Tuesday this week was interrupted for most of the day by heavy rain which meant that the main front wall couldn't be worked on so I started on the left hand side wall leading into the entrance.

New to Blogger

I am quite new to the world of blogging. I have been running a blog on my Freewebs hosted website but I'm not sure that many people can find it as I don't think it is picked up in rss feeds, so I have decided to try out Blogger.

My old blog can be found here.

My name is Dean Tweedy and I'm an artist who has specialized in murals since 1994. I travel to your premises and paint straight onto the walls to produce murals that are both beautiful and durable.

In the past I have completed many commissions locally, nationally and internationally ranging in size from a single wall in a child's bedroom to trompe-l'oeil in dining rooms and bathrooms, to large public works of art on the sides of buildings.

I have completed many commissions in reception rooms and commercial properties. I also work in schools from infants to high-schools and like to involve the children either in the design process or in the actual painting of the mural itself.

Murals can be situated virtually anywhere on walls, ceilings or floors, interior or exterior. Special varnishes can be added for protection against knocks, weather or even graffiti.
