This mural is so much fun! And it fools the eye for sure.

This spectacular mural is now located downtown Colorado Springs and serves as the entry to a new art/performance focused venue. The name as the mural depicts quite well is the Mezzanine. There will be a few additions to this mural over the coming weeks.

  A beautifully executed mural of the Sedona landscape located in a restaurant near the beautiful rocks themselves. The murals on the other side of the restaurant are dedicated to wine and “Celebrating Life”.  

Colorado Springs muralist and speed painter Douglas Rouse (ROUSE 66) will be creating his largest Speed Painting ever during the Olympic Downtown Celebration on Tejon St. Come join him at 6:45pm in front of the Uncle Wilbur Fountain (immediately following the Short & Sweet Downtown Dash). It will be cold! Dress appropriately. But the action will heat […]

  Douglas painted these 5 speed paintings for an event during the NAVC Conference in Orlando, Florida January 2014. The main stage performance was a highlight for many of the attendees!

PIA Paintings™ are painted 3D images (just like 3D chalk art) but without the mess and long onsite hours. Douglas creates these awesome art pieces in his studio in Colorado Springs and will travel with them to your event location. Douglas then installs the canvas in place for the event and during the event he […]

Nothing cooler than a gorilla and rain forest to liven up a warehouse workspace. This 160″x 80″ mural was painted on canvas and then directly installed onto a concrete block wall.

This space went from cold and dreary to warm and amazing, what a transformation! Bindu Yoga Studio at the BAC in Manitou Springs has such a beautiful space to practice yoga in.  

Nice crowd at the FICP event in Deer Valley, UT. A lot of energy & creative poses on the PIA Painting (painted 3D “chalk” art piece) by Douglas Rouse! The painted drawings are so much more interactive because you can step (and lay) all over them without messing them up and keeping your own clothes […]

Douglas will be doing a live speed painting at this event April 28, 2013! The whole evening will be filled with amazing things to see.

Douglas has performed Speed Painting for a number of corporate and charity events across the country. This art form does not solely serve as an incredible form of entertainment but it also produces a valuable and meaningful piece of art that can be auctioned during events to raise funds for charity, be a part of […]

3D Chalk Art can be a very fun addition to any event. The interactive quality allows people to take photos that are a wonderful token to take away from the event. Douglas has created 3D Chalk Art pieces for a number of corporate, social, and celebratory events across the country. Now he is expanding the […]

While Douglas was visiting Austin, TX so was Grumpy Cat!

  Currently, Douglas is working on residential murals around Austin, TX. There are some plans in the mix and he might be hanging around for a performance in SXSW and other events. Hire him while you can for your corporate event, a 3D drawing, or a trompe l’oeil mural.  

By Sondra Meyer It was a cold, bleak, snowy morning in down town Colorado Springs.    The sky was grey.   The ground was white and the trees looked dead.    Even on a sunny day, there is nothing particularly appealing about the alleys, parking lots, and the backside of buildings in down town Colorado Springs. This was […]

Posted By Edie Adelstein It’s a daisy-chain of giving. Mountain Equipment Recyclers now has a mural in its shop, thanks to local artist Douglas Rouse. But instead of simply paying Rouse for the work, MER will donate $500 to the Trails and Open Space Coalition, an Indy Give! participant. From the press release: We met […]
