In the mid to late 90's I was making a fair living in Edmonton Alberta as a Faux Finish Artist.
I had the pleasure of painting two Irish pubs and got very familiar with painting the triple spiral, as I had to turn a number of shabby columns into grand monoliths carved with celtic spirals.
The dance floor at The Druid I outlined in a braid of celtic knots with a stylized dragon head at each end. It was a fabulous job ! The Pub owners.. the best.. I do miss those days of painting as the patrons watched and marvelled over the paint techniques I did before them..
The trompe loeil bicycle leaning against the wall of O'Byrne's on Whyte Ave..
The many Irish tunes that were embeded in my mind...
That was years ago..I wonder if my adornments are still there....
