Furniture Photo Shoot in the Garden



The "pink snow" falling from last week's blooming crab apples provided the perfect backdrop to photograph my latest decorative painting project: a fabulously French side board. (previously red). The Creative Director showed up to make sure the shoot was going according to plan...

Pink Snow! Forecast: Light Dusting.

It's been snowing pink here in Pennsylvania. No shoveling required. All because the crab apple trees are making their magic. 

 

 

What's in your forecast?

Creating Chalkboards from Cabinet Doors - Upcycle!

It was super fun to create this chalkboard from an old cabinet door at Caromal Colours last evening. Love the paint and the process. 

My trusty artistic critic gave my newly created chalkboard a friendly nug and rub. I take that as a positive review!

The Caromal Colors that I used on my chalkboard are chocolate and mustard. Looking forward to many more projects using distressing, glazing, and gilding!

Snowmen Handstands?...An Acadia Christmas Card

Every year one of my favorite holiday traditions is to create a one-of-a-kind Christmas card for hubby. A summer trip to Maine's Acadia National Park provided the inspiration for this year's card....and gave us both the giggles on Christmas Eve.

 

 

So where do these illustration ideas come from?  Scroll and see.

*  Bubble Rock in Acadia seems like it will topple off the edge at any moment...although it's been sitting on this very spot for ages.

 

 *  Don't ask me why, but hubby and I started doing handstands at the peak of this hike. Crazy us.

 

 

*  The nephew steered clear of our handstand show (I think he thought we were strange), but then did let us take his picture by one of the carriage road signs.

 

Together, all of these experiences were a welcomed inspiration for hubby's special card...and awesome memories from such a beautiful place. (Thanks Miss Paulette!!)
