Something Refreshing...

8x8
I think we have all had enough of this current heatwave.
Today I just stayed in the AC and did this little still life.
Now to make some watermelon gazpacho!

Florida mural


I've been working on this large mural in a client's home for the past two weeks.  The wall is about 15' high and 30' long.  The room has a glass conservatory ceiling and the client has brought in real potted palm trees.  I designed the wall to be an extension of the scene.


 It is almost completed...just a few finishing touches.
