Commissions

I do love doing special commissions and I thought I would share several projects I have been working on.

A most unusual chair. It came painted in dark brown and green and it left my studio with a new personality!!

A wedding platter for a couple that LOVES the University of Texas

This was a new baby gift which was acrylic on canvas.

I liked it so I made another one in blue

I did a birthday invite for a couple

And am finishing the church nursery that I had spoken of in previous posts:

 Tile backsplash for the bathroom

 Bunnies cut from wood and painted in the baby nursery.

 A valance from wood.

Another peek at the big nursery with my wide angle lens.

You can see the red lantern light fixtures.

 The metal light fixture is a painted church.

 Painted chest of drawers

 The hallway where the children enter.

And one last project was to brighten up a kitchen:

This is an old cabinet door that reads:

There are far far better things ahead than any we leave behind.

Part 2 Children's Room in Houston

For some reason the blog wouldn't let me post one more picture yesterday!! I guess it had had enough but I did have a few more to share!

Handpainted cuckoo clock.

 There is  "First Friends" stage. I actually was there yesterday with my guitar for an open house!

 The other bench that goes to the big table.

 An old cabinet door that I painted on both sides and was hung by a chain in a window that separates two children's rooms.

The other side of the cabinet door.

Hansel and Gretel painting. Scene from when the angels watched over them at night.

 The smaller room has a bunny theme. I cut lots of bunnies out of wood and we hung them on the wall.

This was an old brown chest of drawers that I  painted to go in the bunny room.

There will be Part 3 tomorrow.

Tile Backsplashes

Years ago when I started painting tiles, some of my customers were concerned that they would not be at their current houses forever and wondered if there was a way to have hand painted tiles tiles they could take with them when they moved. So....that is how i came up with the term,"portable back splashes"

"Angels Fishing" can be found here

Blue and White Flowers can be seen here

Flowers and Butterflies is here

 up close details

 I make each butterfly and flower from clay, then fire,paint and glaze and fire once more.
