Nancy Hadley Fine Art

On this page, you can find some - not all - of Nancy's private commission work, in particular murals (of course),and
paintings. If we ever get around to figuring out the scanner, we'll go into the archives and show some of the museum
work...

...and should you see something here you like, please enquire. Thanks for looking.

Veuve Cliquot with two flutes, done for a pair
of serious champagne aficianados.

Balboa Island was a beautiful haven full of
adorable beach cottages. Gradually, all the
cottages are being razed for McMansions.
This was commissioned by the old owner
before the wrecking ball...gone but not
forgotten

A series of Extreme Sports paintings,
including big wave surfing, motocross,
windsurfing, rock climbing, skiing, and
snowboarding.

The finished mural done as demonstration
for the Orange County Fair in California.
Nancy painted it from scratch in front of an
audience. It sold the day the Fair ended.

A painting done as an accent for a room
sample for Nava's Designs. This piece is still
available. Please enquire.

One way to beautify an ordinary bedroom is
to create a view where none was
before...when the owners moved, they took
the doors with them, and who can blame
them.

Once upon a time, there was a TV show on
NBC called Three Wishes, with Amy Grant,
and when they needed a library painted in
Ohio, they called the best.

One of the things that can really beautify a
home is faux work. While Nancy has done it
for the show, it is a little too "mundane".
Suffice to say she s an expert.

Swans, moon, and stars done as decorative
accents for a nursery. These were modeled
on the moveable murals done for the Leslie
house in New Orleans. Similar ones can be
ordered

A porthole view to a waterfall, done for a client
who wanted a view where none was
available.

The Tails of Whales, done for the Long
Beach Aquarium with Ali Pearson of Alumni
Exhibits (see our links page). Back in the
'90s, Nancy did this sort of thing all around
the world...

Good trompe l'oeil does what it is supposed
to - fool the eye. This was the blank brown
wall of a condominium patio, which has been
transformed into a bridge to somewhere
much better. Look carefully to see the
sledgehammer used to knock down the wall

The Extreme Makeover Home Edition charity
heart. ABC asked several of their shows -
Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy,
EMHE, Alias - to make hearts for auction on
eBay. When the call came to EMHE, they
gave it to Nancy

For a good friend, a view of a place where life
is like a Corona commercial, and a reminder
for the rest of the year.

A painting of a Portuguese house done on an
old cottage window. A really remarkabel idea,
and when the light shines through it, an
amazing painting. Similar to the painted
skylight Nancy did in Season One of EM:HE
