Silkscreened bow design.
Gilded window shade, composed of gold leaf and varnish size on canvas shade.
A very sad painted mantelpiece before it was faux-finshed. The client wanted to restore it to its former Victorian glory. I did an underpainting of a flat beige color to hide the blue, then I created a faux-bois surface, imitating various wood veneers, oak and plaster decorations.
Here is the finished project, with a new marble facing, and vibrant wall colors selected by the client.
Stenciled initials and decorations for twin babies.
Decorative painting using acrylics and metallic paints, on vanity and mirror.
