before


This is a large vase that sits on a clients fireplace hearth. The colors in the room have changed, so I took it home to my studio to be updated also.

how true!


Even on a stormy day the clouds are beautiful!
While working on the wood trim I had to stop and take some photos of an approaching storm. A house painter on the job asked what I was doing. when I told him I was capturing the awesome clouds he said "awe, yes, they are our mountains.......how true!!!

faux effects



I've been busy working in a house under construction for over a week now. I'm applying a glaze to most of the wood trim and doors. If you look at the baseboard you can see the before and after effect.
