Art attracts us only by what it reveals of our secret self. Alfred North Whitehead.

Ceiling Murals

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.

Birds, clouds and leaves move across the open sky.

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 has flown down
into the room and alighted there.

 Detail of hummingbird in the ceiling mural.

The 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.
