Garden Door Mural - Before and After

A past painting job in an Arizona home.

I think this "before and after" an example of how effective a little paint can be.

Inspired by my clients ideas, this trompe l'oeil mural dressed up a bland patio sitting area.

Hand Painted Ceramisc - Bow Platter

From my first attempt at painting ceramics...I was hooked!

Being able to mix the paints and achieve a wide variety of values by adding water made it feel very close to using water color paints. I guess the biggest difference is that it is a bit of a guess as to the final colors...after firing...kind of an adventure.

I paint in layers building up values slowly.

This platter was from a series of home accessories I designed and made several years ago when I lived in Arizona.

They were sold in boutiques and specialty shops.

Hand Painted Dining Room Garden Mural

Trompe L'oeil Full Room Mural

This was a fun job and it has pleasant memories for me.
I was happy with how it turned out and really enjoyed working with these clients.
This view is a section of one wall in their dining room.
All walls and the ceiling were included in the Italian Garden Themed design.
