I just loved working on these shutters for A truely wonderful lady, Sending best wishes for a fast recovery. The garden is calling, get well soon! These shutters are painted with a tone on tone floral composition. The edges are trimed with a cut copper design, each leaf is cut out buy hand with a jewelers saw. Each copper panel took 4 days to cut out. They should verdi in a few years. I love verdi, looking forward to seeing them again then. Thank you Colleen for his wonderful opportunity.
The Beach
Oh, to be at the beach, right now. Somewhere where it's warm and beautiful. It's bitter cold today in Pittsburgh. If you feel like being at the beach paint it and your there. It's amazing the vision in my mind, "I can see the sparkling of the sun on the water, The white foam as the water curls, The teals the blues, The flashes of gray as the water sinks deeper. It's all there in the minds eye.
Castle Chair
Every piece of art an artist forms, (for lack of a better word). Lies somewhere deep in there heart. This chair I hold very deeply. The chair was given to me, doomed for the dumpster. I feel very fortunate, to have had the opportunity to restore it. I am not sure where it resides now, but I feel it had to have been sold to a wonderful home. Happy Journey!
