Home Decor Show and a
A Trompe Loeil Panel
This is a very early post I made awhile back and must have forgotten about it, so as I was doing a bit of “house cleaning” of my blog I ran across this post that I used as a test post and thought I would give it an update
Being that I held a seminar on trompe loeil at a Home Decor Show in Naples a few years ago by Home and Design Magazine I thought why not use this image in my presentation and update this post as well.
trompe loeil panel faux painting ideas
Faux Sienna Marble Trompe Loeil, originally uploaded by artmorehead.
This marble rendering is actually on a painted panel (hollow core door) that I used for a Home Decor Show few years back. I used a series of these doors and made a booth from them for a trade show. Every painted panel had some kind of trompe loeil work on them except for maybe a couple that I needed to show a few other painting techniques.
I know I post a lot about marble but lately there has been a lot of call for it on columns and accent areas, I have even seen an increase for my marbling DVD. My favorite part is the trompe loeil work and I think it just adds to the whole look of a painted panel its self. I try to take things a bit further each time I paint because as with any artist repetition just drives me nuts. Doing the same thing over and over is ok but myself I have to make it a little more interesting or different each time I paint.
At any rate I thought I should update this trompe loeil post because I have had this page down for a while and Google keeps reminding me of a broken link and of course is not good for your SEO or page rank in the search engines and we wouldn’t want that now would we? How ever it is a good lead into let you all know about my Marketing For Artists and Small Business seminars that will be coming up in October. I will also be launching a membership sight showing people how to create passive and residual income while painting in their studios.
Now I do have more to say on this post but I have a few things I must do to get ready for another seminar and will come back to this post later so if you have any questions about this panel feel free to ask by leaving a comment and Ill answer it when I get notified that it’s here. Boy I just love wordpress. Of course, I hope you all have enjoyed the
Faux Sienns Marble Trompe L’oeil
and I will be adding more to this post soon





Hi, and thank you for letting me in to your little world.
I am a decorative painter myself, living and working in Sweden (Europe), I hope that we can exchange some ideas in the future and make sure you look up my website (http://www.skillingbackensmaleri.se), unfortunately I havent had time to make an english version yet, but the pictures are international anyway.
A very nice Sienna by the way.
Ronnie

Look forward to hearing from you.
Michael, hmmmm well lets see sun , fun, work, teaching, studio in Costa Rica? I have to be honest and say that the thought has crossed my mind. Where do I sign up lol
Hello Arthur, I met you on the “Art Marketing” group of LinkedIn. Anyway I would like to thank you for your suggestions concerning how to wield the Internet. I would also congratulate you for your nice faux marble rendering. I will mention your name to some good friends I have in Pensacola, Fl.
Regards. Andrea
Hi Andrea
thanks for stopping by and the great compliment. “Yes some people look at me funny when they ask me what my medium is and I tell them I paint rocks for a living” lmao (just kidding) I had a couple of decorative artist friends of mine use that line in one of their classes and thought I would quote it.
As far as wielding the internet I guess you could say I have a passion for that too because I find it fascinating, especially the challenges of applying my own SEO techniques. I am in my 6th year but it may be longer because I kind of lost track. Marbling seems to be a favorite of everyone and I love creating it especially when there is a little trompe loeil involved.
Thanks Ronnie,
I love everythiing that has to do with decorative painting as well as the finer painting which I do also. It seems the more I do the more I discover which is why I live for the arts. I hope to see you back here because I like to communicate and exchange ideas and techniques. Be sure to opt in for my newsletter because this is just the beginning of some wonderful things that I will be making available including video’s and some of the very mediums that I will be making available very soon
