Some Exciting News...well, Maybe.

Looks like I will probably be involved in the remodel of a soon to be reoccupied (different resident) apartment in this building, here in Salt Lake City, UT. We have come up with what I think are some great ideas for this space, with a very generous budget, so I am quite excited. In working with this group in the past, however, often some of what I thought were the best ideas don't quite, "make it through committee," so to speak. Nothing is confirmed. I hope to know more by next Monday. I will let you know as soon as it is a sure thing, if they don't give me instructions otherwise, and I will post pictures as the project develops, if they let me take them.

Finished Holy Family Catholic Church

All done, I still think the colors are a little strong.
This is a close up that shows the sheen. We put a little burnish on the plaster.
the last image shows the patterning of the two colors, though the camera on my phone didn't like the light level much.
I should be getting some images from one of my employees soon that show all this much better.

Thursday, pretty much everything is moving forward. The polished yellow plaster is done. The dark red is just the paint for under the plaster the small area near the floor, behind the alter is the terracotta color all that red will be. That area is completed as well. Hopefully we will be all done today.

Day 2 or is is 3, I don't know. I haven't really been sleeping. I'm trying to finish a painting for a contest before the cut-off on Friday- oh tomorrow I guess - well that isn't going to happen...On site the trim is painted in a bright gold and the polished yellow plaster on those skirt
type areas is prey much done too.

This is a proposed job in Ogden. The trim is to be a painted gold metallic. The space between the trim and the shaded area is to be a bright yellow, two-tone plaster,fairly polished. The shaded are will not, in fact, be anything that would fall under anything what accurately be called by the "F" word above. The image above was sent to me. I did NOT write the caption. This shaded area is to be a darker rust and yellow two-tone plaster not as polished. I am hopping to update with progress photos as we go. In warning, the colors are significantly stronger than I recommended, but the client was sure that was what he wanted.

Here is a continuation of my Pine tree series. I actually completed these last week but have been getting my most recent works photographed professionally prior to delivering them to any galleries. Shawn (Elton) Young helped me produce some promotional postcards. I will put in a later post. My plan is to produce postcards for each of my larger available pieces, and mail them to everyone on my mailing list. I hope this isn't going to feel like more "junk" mail to anyone. Any of you think that should be a concern to me? If any of you would like to be on this mailing list or if you know anyone who would like to be included, I would be happy to do so . There is contact link on my website, just give me the necessary information and I will be sure you (or they) are added. Oh that website has been just updated too if any of you are interested.
