This hand painted kitchen backsplash brings home bright family memories of touring the wineries of Tuscany. After meeting with the family, it was clear this trip held a special place in their hearts. Photos from their vacation were incorporated into a lush and picturesque landscape composition. The mural is inset several inches into the wall, with recessed lighting, to give the effect of looking out a castle window. Full baskets of ripe grapes in the foreground begin the viewer's journey into a deep, sun-drenched vineyard. One basket bears their family name as the official owners of this imagined estate. In the distant countryside is an elegant, old world winery. Further back are the mountain peaks of Italy. The scene sparkles with a vibrant harvest. Colorful purple fruits provide contrast while also incorporating the subtle golden tones of the tiles. A joyful window view incorporates personal details and preserves wonderful memories of special family times.
