Stranded

This wood burning was done on an old cherry cabinet. I added the blue wash with acrylic to add a little color. I also painted the frame of the cabinet with black lacquer. This is done from an old family photograph, although it looks like it could have been taken from a movie. I was intrigued by it because there is definitely a story behind this picture. Was he having car trouble and waiting for help? Who was he with, and who took the photo?

The Perfect Couple

Here is my newest piece, "The Perfect Couple". This was burned onto an old cherry kitchen cabinet that we were replacing. I kept a few of them- I really like the tone I get with the warm cherry wood. (We have since made all new cabinets for our customer's beautiful kitchen!) The image is from an old photograph of my great grandparents at their summer home on Martha's Vineyard. I remember driving by the house as a child while on vacation. My mother told us how she had spent every summer vacation there as a child with her family. The property has since been sold.

I call this The Perfect Couple because they both look so content and relaxed, enjoying the simple life. I love the feeling of just sitting on a porch on a beautiful day with the people you love- no phones, no computer, just you and the summer breeze.

Come see this, and all of my other work this weekend at The Providence Art Festival on Saturday, June 12! I will be there from 10:30 am until 6 pm. Afterwards you can enjoy the Providence Waterfires in downtown Providence. See you there!

Rosecliff Statue

I've always loved visiting the gorgeous mansions in Newport, RI. Every summer growing up, we would take a drive along scenic Ocean Drive and take a tour of one of the multi-million dollar historical homes on Bellevue Ave. This summer, Steve and I visited Rosecliff for the Garden Show. I had him take a picture of this beautiful statue out on the lawn with it's huge flower arrangement. I love this style, and hope to go back soon to take some more pictures of the beautiful flowers and statues in Newport to add to this collection. Hand woodburned on 13.5"x9.5" oval.
