"and the cow sailed into the harbor" "holy cow harbor day"

for cow harbor day...made two original paintings(then prints on wood) to sell in northport at the firefly gallery. Cow harbor day (so im told) came about when the farmers brought the cows on boats across the harbor for them to graze up and around the hills of northport. later it became a day to celebrate by having a parade then later the cow harbor race for runner's which many people have flew in to be apart of accross the country.

painted dresser for jolie

the dresser i painted in a distressed/old age look that jolie likes and i like to do it (this was march when i took the photo)...i enjoy objects that have a story to tell ,the barn painting above i did of their family barn..jolie has a way of making everything soft,warm and comfortable and that is why i took a photo of austin in the chair . ..everthing is like this with her.today i was doing some less creative painting at the house and the hydrangeas in the back garden were a dark blue purple and we were all admiring them. nice summer weather today.

Ava's room

I painted this about a year ago,ava is now eleven months and walking and starting to talk.Now i am painting her sister's room which connects to this room and i am continuing the jungle theme with the taj mahal and more should be finished this week.

kitchen cabinets(for jolie and stephen)

they went with two off whites' with a weathered look that has charactor and could last with small children,they were originally to dark for their taste and made the kitchen seem bigger/lighter,it took a week to complete.

james and jack(bedrooms)

james wanted the yankee symbol in his room(jackie their mother and i decided to leave out the white lines in the symbol we felt it had more of a softness to what was going on in the room and james was ok with it,i also learned aboffs paint store has the exact color called yankee blue) and jack wanted the mets....i took a photo of jack while i was painting,it was his birthday at the time.

faux wood beams in den (for lisa and francis)

the wood beams were dark and dated,so after a few samples we decided on lighter tone because they wanted to bring more light into the room,i used three different colors to achieve this look.I only used paint,no stain was used for this project.

birthday banner for austin

hand painted birthday sign ...austin's dad love's to surf ....i feel austin will end up loving it as well, this was a gift but i do custom sign's from time to time, this one is about 45x45 on linen and is washable.
