Truly Magical Painting

Rare woods and expensive marbles are being spotted more and more in homes and businesses these days, thanks to artist Janet Mathis of Truly Magical Painting. Janet does not deal in wood or marble at all. Her business is that of illusion. Her painting is so realistic that people have to actually touch walls to see if they are stone or examine columns closely because her faux marble is difficult to distinguish from the real thing, as you can see from the columns to the right. In addition to an abundance of natural talent, Janet has studied under various teachers in Vancouver, British Columbia and took part in an exclusive study tour in Italy, painting frescoes, creating stencils, marbleizing, and learning how to gild using 24-carat gold. She uses high quality materials to ensure her work is long lasting. Although every job is unique, she can often paint a wall for what it would cost to buy wallpaper and have it professionally hung.
