I have always loved Grisaille painted murals. Grisaille is a monochrome painting using shades of gray or (sometimes brown). Grisaille was used by Renaissance artist to depict or imitate relief sculpture paintings. I remember the first one that I painted in a home down the shore, I was inspired by Graham Rust and his grisaille murals. I used asian elements and sea creatures such as Lobsters, and conch shells but in a realistic way not whimsical. I am working on two powder rooms right now and I feel one may be in need of a grisaille mural, so my search has begun for that one mural that will spark inspiration. I hope you like my picks as much as I do, Happy Monday all!
