Caiden's Room

Sea turtle wall mural. LOVE WHERE YOU ARE. Wentworth, NH. 2016

This portion of the wall overlooks the child's bed.

 The adult sea turtle is seen when you first walk into the room and is the painted at the approximate height of the child, so he can examine it closely and touch it.
This room was small, so the mural is not cluttered, but allows for the spaciousness of the ocean, so as to not shrink the room.

The Sky (Inspired Door Series)

This is a reclaimed door I found in the chicken coop....completely black and unrecognizable.
It has fasteners from a long mirror on the front, seen here as black specks on the painting.

In this detail you will notice the door knob, now broken. The brass is so beautiful. I added a touch of gold to the edge of the cloud (seen here top, center) as if the light from the brass was reflecting in the sky.
Here is a mirror fitting.
This detail is the original cloud composition that made me fall in love with this sky. Doesn't it take your breath away? A door through the clouds....from this to that... unknown place...
I left the hinges in their original condition.
And here is the back of the door. I left it just as it was, but clean.
