Today’s “Weathered”
Report
Living here in
Southwest Florida we are a little obsessed with our weather reports. If you turn
on the news, it seems like every 5 minutes they mention something about our
weather. Then, of course, there are the all-day weather channels, weather
websites, and even weather apps. My husband is from Australia and this little
scenario struck him odd when he first arrived here. I quite often hear him say “My God, Americans
are obsessed with their weather” True, at least here in Florida. Most of our
day especially the weekends center around beaches, boating, golfing, or even
splashing in the swimming pool. As an artist I have to keep an eagle eye on the
weather when I’m doing an outdoor mural or faux painting project. And on occasion,
like today’s featured project, I’m asked to bring the “weather” indoors.
If you love the smell
of sea-spray, the taste of salt in the air, and warmth of sun rays sparkling
around you might consider having this faux finish painted into your home as
well. The client’s décor is in shades of the beach: sandy whites, driftwood,
blue-green sea glass. A feature wall in a fairy tight walk space was crying to
be a show stopper. The idea was to make it appear as a wood plank outdoor wall
that once upon a time had been painted a seaside blue-green and is now “weathered”
by sand, surf, and sun. The result….Glorious:
This weather beaten look isn't limited to just walls in can used for furniture too:
Coming soon this "Weathered" look will be on an exterior surface, so stay tuned.
