Drone's Eye View

Drones Eye View

We’ve all heard of “bird’s eye view “ but today it would be more accurate to say “drone’s eye view”. That’s what was used for the latest golf mural.  

The client’s favorite golf hole at Pelican Preserve Golf Course in Ft Myers, FL:

The scene is painted on a wall shelf:

Formerly, the wall shelf featured a Tuscan Scene. Here's the before and after look:

The side view shows more of the verdigris faux finish treatment.

The shelf received a clear coat of CV500UV in Dull to protect the painting and finish,

Entering the Neutral Zone

Entering the Neutral Zone

Warm neutrals are the new color trend. As cool grey makes a retreat, the warm earth tones enter as the color palette of choice for 2021. From warm beige to dusky hues of passionate clay red and organic greens we always return to mother earth. Previously strong teal and flash bronze come in a more subtle gentle way to bring serenity and calmness to a home. As our homes become more a sanctuary space from an uncertain world.

Recently I had the pleasure of painting a series of ceilings in a home that was making its way out of the prior heavy Tuscan feel into a serene gentle palette. It was actually over my own work from years ago. I love helping homes progress with the times and being part of not just the home’s interior but the client’s lives as we all progress with the changing world.

 The central portion of the home now features gentle faux finish neutrals on the ceilings:

( and the art pieces are now inspired from nature- yours truly painted the heron that graces the dining room wall )

The soaring entry transitioned from flash bronze and black to a faux finish in deep earth brown of both matte and metallic. 

The walls above are painted in a gentle lighter color of Pavlova. 

The feature wall in the main bedroom is in an organic blue green tone.

The architectural piece of the bed is Faux finished in metallic champagne beige.

Foiled, Usually, Foiled

Foiled, Usually,  Foiled

Spoofing on the famous W.C. Fields quote and focusing rather on wall faux finish...

“How do you like your walls? Foiled, usually, foiled.”

Foil takes walls to a new level of glamour. Perfect for today’s modern palettes and for transitioning from the still left over heavy dark Tuscan feel and moving into a brighter optimistic and gleaming look.

 Silver and champagne gold foil is full on glamour for this guest powder room : 

This previously dark heavy guest powder room received a modern lift by replacing the previous sink cabinet with a wall floating cabinet and a reflective gold- champagne and hint of green foil faux finish on the walls

To create this gorgeous ceilings, a troweled on texture is applied over gold and silver foil:

The same ceiling before the texture was troweled on. Clearly breath taking either way:

Be a Flamingo

Be a Flamingo

One of the most flamboyant birds here in SW Florida is the flamingo. What a joyful bird. Fun to look at and such an amazing color. So, it’s not surprising that Astrodurance Bungee Fitness decided to use this fabulous bird as their mascot in the mural at their new location in Cape Coral, Florida. Astrodurance Bungee Fitness is a revolutionary full body training system for rehabilitation and fitness. With one of their moves called “The Flamingo” you know it has to be fun!

The flamingo is painted with their bungee system hanging from a palm branch. Its tropics meets fitness:

The workout area is in two sections. The mural though divided is a continual beach scene. After all, that one of the reason people "flock" to SW Florida:
