Another SeattleHomes Mention

I just found this. Here a little image of one of my paintings at a new store in the Seattle area. You can't really see much of it, but it is this one blogged previously. It is 'Overexposed' 36'x 48'.

Dallas Condo

original concept sketch


These are images of the early stages of a larger scale graphic on the bedroom walls of a condo we are finishing in Dallas. The condo is very modern in style with some really great art already hanging. It is furnished with a minimal aesthetic, but we finished all the walls in a slightly burnished plaster to soften what sometimes becomes a bit of a n institutional look, without cluttering it up. We are constructing this installation in the master bedroom of multiple plaster colors, with a subtle striae pattern. The plaster in applied around the masking then sanded back down to reveal the detail then polished to soft sheen. I have some images of some walls I previously installed in offices in San Francisco, if any one is interested. Again, I have some frustration that much of the details that make this finish so great have eluded all photography thus far. The absolute best part of this finish is its Tactile properties; unbelievably smooth. I selected the wall in this location to particularly take advantage of this. passage through the bedroom to the bath and dressing area will bring the resident or any guests close enough that they will find themselves with their hands on it frequently.

display walls

We have been working on a couple of free standing walls for display at local carpet and rug retailer, Regency Royal. They have a truly amazing space, and products. If you are at all interested in design or decor, next time you are in Salt Lake City, you have to stop by there for at least a few minutes. You will be amazed.

The first two images are of a side of these walls we are finishing with an inlaid plaster. The first image is the vinyl masking. I kind of wish I had gone a little larger scale. with the pattern, and I have redrawn this pattern since, making the pattern more open (more of the background between the pattern) and changing the curves and points to make it a bit more dynamic.



This second image shows the filled stencil being removed. the khaki inlay color isn't as green as it looks in the photo. There area few more stages that level out the surface, hopefully it will be done by the time I get back from Dallas and I can get some pictures of the finished product.


This this image is a side completely covered with copper leaf that we chemically aged to a bright patina.


This is the other side of the patinated copper leaf wall above. This side has the same copper leaf applied over an olive green plaster, in a large scale oak leaf graphic, and finished with a similar patina. I really like how the plaster amsorbs someof the blacked copper creating a slightly darkened shadow around the copper.
