PLEASE NOTE: Until further notice I can only do mural panels, not on-the-wall murals. The following are murals I did in the past.
You will see several samples of my murals and panels below. I have also done some other projects that have not been photographed: a nursery-rhyme themed room for a baby and a "Chinese Brush Painting" style mural for Sherry's House in Worcester, and a room done for a baby to match the Pottery Barn sheets that the parents had picked out.
Click here for Frequently Asked Questions about my mural panels.
An example of mural panels is shown here, and further down there is a baby's farm scene set of mural panels.
As you can see, the mural panels are sitting on my mantel, leaning against the wall. The client picked them up and will be mounting them flush onto her son's wall. I suggested that she may want to make it look like a window, by painting a white rectangle slightly larger than the area of mural panels (there should be an inch or more between them), mounting the mural panels on the white so it shows through looking like window trim, and then adding shutters.
Here are some of my other (mostly local) muraling endeavors:

* This client wanted a very simple design for her baby girl's room. After
listening to her ideas, I suggested a weeping cherry blossom tree. This was
not a full-wall painting, so the main wall just had faint, sponged-on green
hills and the tree.
On the opposite wall, my client requested butterflies
carrying a sprig from the tree, with blossoms falling gently down, all the
way to the floor. A portion of this design is shown here. In addition,
graceful pussywillow branches reaching up from the floor almost to the
ceiling and some purple irises adorn this wall (photos to follow).
The final
touch will be several small canvases to be placed over the changing table
featuring the pink blossoms to carry the theme over to the opposite wall and
tie the room together. (photos to follow).

* This was my first Fenway mural for an adult. It's in his den and features the renovated Green Monster with rows of seating on top and the expanded scoreboard.
* "Mural Panels" - This client lives too far away for me to do a mural on the wall of her baby's room. Our solution was the creation of three masonite (hardboard) panels 35.5" wide by 24" high. A farm scene was painted across the three panels in colors and a style selected by the client, to coordinate with her walls and baby's bedding. Although the farm scene was continuous and unified, the panels are displayed with several inches between them. Several special personal touches were added to the scene, including her two dogs.
* My second painting of Fenway's Green Monster, this time on the wall of a 3-year old's room. (The oval of light in this photo is a reflection from something on the child's dresser.) Out of range of the photo is the window, on the opposite side of which I painted some cheering fans. Also not shown are the two sets of ballpark lights.
If a full wall mural is not for you, consider mural panels (see the above "farm animals" example) in a Fenway Park or Green Monster theme. A good idea for a child's room, as well as for Dad's den or office.
* A small mural for Sherry's House in Worcester, a home for children receiving treatment for cancer and their families. It was done in a small foyer and could therefore not be photographed in its entirety.
* This is the "Green Monster" wall of
Boston's Fenway Park on the wall of a little boy's room.
* The Maine coastline on all 4 walls of our bathroom.
* A lighthouse scene, actually created
as a 4-panel folding fireplace screen. I like to think of folding screens as
"portable murals" that are functional as well as decorative.
* Can a store window accurately be called a "mural"? No matter what it's called, this 4-window array of whimsical animals was painted for a pet grooming shop in Worcester, Massachusetts.
