Tiles from a mural at The Biltmore in Santa Barbara

On the weekend, my fiancé and I took a guest to the Biltmore to see some of the work fiancé does there. I spied this gorgeous tile mural that had me just on my knees.

    How charming, I love the colors, I love the fact that they’re not perfect

    The airport here in San Francisco had a exhibition in one of the terminals of Art Deco tiles and pottery created on Catalina Island that looked alot like this.

    Just love these murals. There’s a full image of the “snake” photo in the book Santa Barbara Style but the colors aren’t nearly as vibrant. In fact, I’m using the Snake mural as an inspiration for a custom tile mural I’m designing for a client. Would love to see the whole image of the snake mural for color purposes…can you share?
