End Result


I created a toile* style fabric with sketches of my home town and was pleased to see the end result
of one of our local residents have her chaired upholstered in it.  I have sewn many pillows from this fabric but it's the first upholstered piece I've seen....and I'm thrilled!

...a new Mural


A new mural on a 6' high by 6' wide wall that continues on three sides for a total of 14'. I enjoyed painting this scene so much I've
thought about painting an adirondack chair on canvas in a garden setting much like this one. It's such a transformation, painting a scene where only a blank wall existed before. The wall opposite this one has a door under a trellis inbetween two stone walls and a white garden bench on a flagstone patio. Delphiniums, Irises, hollyhocks and daisies grow in the garden and petunias
tumble out of pots. A garden as lush as I want it to be.....
