Murals are a type of decorative painting.  Murals may be painted on walls or on materials, like canvas, then hung on the wall.  Murals added to your home or business allow you to add personal touches, coordinate walls, draperies, and furniture for an overall room effect, make a room more fun or more elegant, and express personal taste.  Carol Hawkins Studio can help you realize your vision in any style or format.  Carol can create the feeling and setting you want whether you are looking for photo realism, impressionism, or any style in between. Carol can create most any look you desire.  Please note that the smoothness of line in the finished product will, to a large extent, be determined by the smoothness of the wall surface. Call or email today to learn how Carol Hawkins Studio can bring your visions to life.  Carol looks forward to working with you. This brick wall is a total fake!  The pastor of One Way Baptist Church in Round Rock, TX, has preached a lot on the "walls" we put between us and others.  He wanted to have a brick wall in the church foyer without the expense, the noise, and the construction mess.  Carol Hawkins was called upon to paint this brick wall with a - forged - crack down the middle.  The church will also use the wall in its building drive posting plaques on "bricks" featuring the names of donors.

The Longhorn
This 6 1/2' x 12' faux leather wall hanging of Bevo standing amid cactus is actually painted, acrylic on canvas. The owner is a proud former student body president and graduate of the University of Texas. The wall hanging, located in the Galleria area of Houston, demonstrates that a mural need not be painted on site. Any size mural can be portable. If painted on canvas a mural can be rolled up, shipped any distance, then installed & uninstalled like wallpaper.

This wall mural depicts chairs and tables at a seaside restaurant.  It is painted in an impressionistic style.

Proposed 20' x 58' mural for Motorola dining room
A fantasy sidewalk cafe is painted in the foreground. Diners enjoy a meal al fresco with a great view of mountains in the background. The
background depicts three of the company's worldwide locations. On the left flowers spill from window boxes of a Swiss chalet. In the center the
famous Capitol of Texas rises above an Austin tree line. On the right a Japanese pagoda can be seen with snow capped Mt. Fuji in the background.

Austin City Limits
This lighthearted 9' x 21' mural is reminiscent of the backdrop seen on the Austin City Limits television show. Carol's version of the downtown
Austin Texas skyline has been updated to include the Frost Bank Building. The mural was painted on canvas, and equipped with rings at the top,
so that it could be easily moved and hung. Chi Omega, a University of Texas sorority, commissioned the mural which is used as a stage backdrop.

Take A Beach Vacation
Mural on glass painted for an Austin Texas travel agency. This painting on glass depicts everything needed for a great
beach vacation; a chair with a cold drink, an umbrella, birds flying overhead, starfish, curling waves, and even sand.
