"Popped Art" Gets Even Wilder

“Popped Art “ Gets Even Wilder

The Pop Art mural for the Cape Coral popcorn company “Wild About Popcorn” has expanded! As the company’s success and space is expanding, so is the Popcorn mural. There’s no missing this building located at 1311 Del Prado Blvd. You can see the space from miles away as it bursts in a kaleidoscope bright green and sunny yellow.
The expansion is now “rocking “ as Popcorn jams on guitars, drums out a beat ,and a corncob belts out a tune that is Wild – Wild- Wild --- Wild About Popcorn








What a change from the original drab building to one that is bursting and “Popping” with color….


 Stay tuned because Wild About Popcorn has some new and even wilder surprises coming your way.

Happy Bastille Day

Happy Bastille Day!

Viva La France! Americans have always had a love affair with France. I know I have.  France celebrates their Independence just 10 days after the USA Independence Day. We even share the same patriotic red-white and blue color scheme. In honor of our European cousins who embrace our independent love of freedom, gusto for life, chic attire, and some of the most divine food on the planet… Happy Bastille Day !

We Love Kitchens !

We Love Kitchens!
Ah the kitchen! The heart of the home. Just about everything centers around the kitchen from fabulous yummy treats, family conversations, gathering place for friends, and of course the endless amounts of dishes to be washed.  As a faux artist I’m often asked to change the plain Jane white finish on the kitchen cabinets to something more suiting to the customer’s home. With proper paints and techniques, almost any cabinet can be recreated into a finish you’ll love to spend time around.

This kitchen, formerly bright stark white laminate, are now warm and inviting with character just like their home owner. The base is a creamy tone with medium brown glazing and brushed bronze finished hardware completes the new look:









Lets' step back and look at the whole kitchen:




We have the best customers! Time for a selfie:

It looks Just Like Wall Paper!

It Looks Just Like Wall Paper!
“It looks just like wall paper!” As a faux artist I love hearing that comment. It was said by both the customer and wall paper remover. I recently spent quite a bit of time in our beautiful SW Florida city of Naples. The client’s condo was fabulously positioned at one of the most coveted locations. Outside the glass sliding doors all you can see is gorgeous sky and breath-taking views of the Gulf of Mexico. Inside was a different story. The walls inside were covered with silk string wallcovering installed about 20 years ago. Of course, by now sections had faded, some sections had darkened, and there was dust accumulation. Hurricane Irma added water damage to the mix. Once the water damage was remedied, the owners were ready to have the whole place stripped and painted. They loved the look of the silk string but didn’t want to bother with the hassle and headaches wall covering can bring when you practically live in water. But they wanted the same look as their wall covering. The couple is in their mid- 90’s so they felt comfortable keeping things the way they feel most at home. The faux finish result gives the look they love with added benefit of easier care. And even their wall-paper remover was stunned and declared ‘Oh my God, it looks just like their wall covering” !



Here's a tour of the condo:










Another faux painting that mimics wall covering- in this case, the stereo covers are painted to blend in with the client’s wall-covering:
