The Clematis bloomed in profusion ‘that’ summer and I immortalize the explosion of color by painting it on an old metal TV tray. This tray is the third in a series of three. Each tray portrays a house of import to the client who commissioned the series.
A wonderful trip to New Orleans inspired this painting of a well known home on Royal Street. Painted on an old TV tray, it is the second in a series of three. Each tray portrays a house of import to the client who commissioned the series.
The Inn at Mystic is a beautiful venue on the coast of Connecticut. I painted the elegant mansion just as darkness was falling. The art is done on an old TV tray and is the first in a series of three. Each tray portrays a house of import to the client who commissioned the series, in this case this it is where her wedding was held.
Upon request, I revisited painting a profusion of peach colored roses against a brick wall using an old slate roof tile as my canvas. The realistic roses are depicted in all stages of growth from bud to full bloom to faded rose hip. The attention to detail is evident in the whole piece, including the bricks painted in the background. The scene includes a Rice-paper butterfly and a honey bee. A leather cord is threaded through the original nail holes in the slate and is secured with a knot and a pretty ceramic bead. The slate is 24′ tall and 12″ wide and it weighs 8 pounds. I can paint something similar for you if you’d like!
