Alas, must return to my studio but beforehand, I would especially like to thank Shawn Stucker for mentioning my blog over at her fabulously elegant blog Country French Antiques. As I write this, she is leaving Kentucky on her way to Paris, France. Perhaps she is already there. Lucky her! Not only is Shawn's blog a delight to visit, so too her import store carrying French and European antiques. Absolutely fascinating items. Look forward to her return from lovely Paris.

Until next time, cheers everyone.

Reflection

Reflectionfull

Here is another of my hand painted floor-screens intended for Junes Melange shop. This four panel piece is titled "Reflection". Neoclassical in theme, my intention was to convey a place where one might imagine wandering within this garden... find quietude and time out of their busy days to stop and reflect. Hence the reflection pool in background. The two foreground statues give the impression they are more real then the two statues further in the distance. Midway while painting this, I felt a story unfolding. Something intriguing, mysterious is going to happen.

Painted with acrylics onto solid birch wood. Protected with matte varnish. Back side has cohesive pale cream color relative to front side imagery.

This screen including previous one, have required a vast amount of time and labor to create. Materials used are high quality.

Dimensions: 6' x 6' when fully opened.

FOR SALE If interested in purchasing, you can email me. Please, serious inquiries only. Thank You.

Stay tuned  for next post! Floor-screen depicting a Chinoiserie scene.

Long Ago Venice

Gondolasfull_2

Hello.

Sorry for my absence lately. Very busy designing and painting Junes Melange shop products. In the next few posts to come, thought I'd go ahead and show you a few original hand-painted floor screens. Therefore, here is a charming three-panel floor screen titled "Gondolas". This is a highly detailed imaginary scenic piece painted on both sides using acrylics. Made of solid birch wood. For long lasting protection, several coats of matte varnish applied to both sides. Photo above depicts the front side of screen fully opened and standing flat.
