What A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts

What A Lovely Bunch of Coconuts

Yet another reason to love SW Florida, our incredible palm trees. There is such a wide variety from Royal Palms that line the famous road of McGregor, ponytail and fishtail palms that grace almost every yard, the king palm, and the sago palm. (Beware of that Sago Palm though, a prick of its palm can cause an allergic reaction). I learned that the painful way. Of course, one of those most coveted is the coconut palm.  It is also one of the most requested to be painted onto lanai walls and interior mural scenes.

The fun thing about a custom painted palm tree is zero maintenance. No watering, no trimming, and no bugs. Almost every home has that empty canvas like space that the slider door pockets into. That is a great location to have your favorite palm tree or tropical scene painted. Here are a few to inspire you: 

This pocket wall palm tree was inspired by one of the home owner's favorite art pieces:

Your favorite palm tree can be painted inside as well even in tight spaces:

Here Fishy Fishy

Here Fishy -Fishy

 

Happy Father’s Day! Today we celebrate the incredible men in our lives who have raised us. I’m definitely what you would call a Daddy’s Girl. One of my dad’s greatest past times is to fish. He seriously fishes almost every day now that he’s retired. South Florida offers such a wide array of fishing activities from deep salt water, lobster diving, and dad’s favorite, freshwater fishing. Here’s to you dad. Some of your favorite aquatic buddies:

 A set of four freshwater fish portraits. Each is painted onto a wood art panel measuring at

 8" x11" x1.5" cradle then clear epoxy sealed for both protection and giving depth illusion:

Here's a closer look at each:

When Palm Trees Do the Salsa

When Palm Trees Do the Salsa

 Southwest Florida is bursting with color and sunshine. Sunbeams lift your spirits as they dance the salsa among the palm trees. That’s the inspiration for this this trio set of palms. Specifically painted for a laundry they certainly lift spirits and bring joy into what would otherwise be a boring household chore. 

The palm trees appear to have a paint pour technique. I say appear to be, because in reality they are NOT pours. Rather they are carefully constructed. I tested the swirling of paints with added body mediums before painting two of the trees onto square canvas.

The third tree could only be painted working against gravity since it is painted onto the door cover of an electric panel mounted into the laundry room wall:

Now the 3 palm trees bring cheer to an otherwise dreary space:
