Drake Hotel Painting

Here is a recent commission of downtown Chicago featuring the Drake Hotel. It measure 52" wide by 35" wide. While it looked very large in my studio, it was the perfect size once installed. (Click on image to see it larger.)

Drake Hotel - in progress

I'm working on a painting of the Drake Hotel. Here it is without Lake Michigan and the trees that will be in the foreground.

Window Displays

These two images are the street-facing side of two window displays Stonehenge Artisans Group created for a designer's showroom. On the other side of each display is a sample faux finish. Each display is about 2 X 3 feet. You can see them at Liam Brex, 222 South Main Street, Naperville, IL

Outside My Window

A red fox has been showing up every day and sleeping on the snow.

Ceiling

Here we are applying the base coat
before adding the faux finish.

My Kitchen

I recently repainted the border mural in my kitchen. The image on the
right shows our house as it was in the early 1900s. There is only one
barn remaining across the street. Click on the image to see more detail.

Children's Mural

My niece Lauren enjoys being "on stage." For Christmas I made her a platform, and painted a backdrop on canvas. As with many of my other recent murals, I painted it in my home studio, then applied it to the wall on site. It can be removed or moved as needed.

Pearl Paste Bathroom

Working with Stonehenge Artisans Group, we recently completed this very durable three-layered metallic finish.

Painted Furniture

In this Before and After, I applied a crackle finish and then accented it with gold highlights. Click on the images to see them larger and with additional detail.

Baby's Room

Here are two views of a baby's room. I painted the elements to create the impression that each was a cutout and attached to the wall.
