When its time to make a change in our homes and give it a much needed face-lift, some pieces can be difficult to replace. It maybe a favorite piece or furniture passed down through generations. Or,perhaps, its a piece that just happens to fit perfectly in its space and due to its "ginormous" size and weight would be costly to replace. That was the case in this stunningly carved framed mirror. The piece soared around 7 ft in height. The weight- well, Hercules might be able to move it. In this case, the client used a glass company. The former interior was revived from dark heavy Tuscany to white and bright with comfortable tones of driftwood. And that was the challenge set for this intricate frame work. 

Here's a look at the steps of this mirror’s face-lift:

Even a favorite decorative clock was changed from dark and heavy to the new

lighter and brighter look:

Palm Sunday

Palm Sunday

Today is “Palm Sunday”. Not in the Biblical sense but because today’s art blog is dedicated to one of Southwest Florida’s favorite motifs- the Palm Tree. I’ve had the pleasure of painting these beautiful tropical icons both indoors and outdoors. Granted, painted palm trees don’t produce edible fruits such as coconuts (my favorite), dates, or acacia. On the other hand, you never have to water them or be concerned about a cold snap. Here’s a look at the most recent additions of palm tree murals for my client’s personal vacation get- away spots on their own lanais:

Keeping with the client's love of all things pink, this tropical palm has a background has background of sunset blush:

This colorful mural is nestled on the blank canvas spot of the sliding lanai door pocket wall:

The beauty of this palm tree can be enjoyed by sunlight during the day. At night, the side light sets a romantic mood:

Even our heavy stucco exterior home textures can have palm trees murals painted on them to create a personal oasis:
