Our Stone Garden Shed

This is the first painting I've done of our stone shed with my lush cottage garden in the foreground.  I love this scene because it shows how all my flowers are vying for a taste of the sun.  My husband, Tom, built this beautiful 10'x10' solid stone shed with a working fireplace and a basement for the garden tools.  He used all found materials and side of the road windows.  He even hand-split the cedar wood shingles for the roof.

Natural Style Chinoiserie in a Foyer

I designed this accent wall in the foyer of a lovely Rocky Point house to reflect the owner's love of nature and colors that are found throughout her home.

Chinoiserie  is a Chinese style of decorative painting usually found on classic hand-painted wallpaper.

Portrait of an Afghan Hound

I will soon have a new category on my website called Pet Portraits featuring some of the custom canvases of dogs and horses I am painting for clients.  I love painting animals and capturing their personalities on canvas.  The expression in their eyes are so important.  I am happy to work from photographs taken by my customers but, I am also willing to photograph the pets myself if they are located on Long Island.  While working from these photos, I can alter the background or create a new setting for the portrait if one is needed. This portrait of an Afghan hound was painted from a photo taken of the dog next to the coast of the Long Island Sound which is just a block away from where the pet owner lives.  It was painted on a 22"x 24" canvas so it could be hung above the living room mantle.
  

Rocky Point Seaside Mural

These two scenes are part of a whole-room mural in a master bathroom in a Rocky Point house.  This mural captures some of the beautiful coastal scenery of  this quaint coastal village.  The homeowner wanted a mural that would cheer her in the winter when everything outside is cold and dormant.

Swordfish in an Underwater Bathroom

The whole bathroom, including the ceiling, is painted to create a complete underwater mural. 

Fairy Amidst the Hollyhocks

My clients selected Tinkerbell to cast her loving spell on their baby daughter's room.  This part of the mural is 4 ft. 6 in. wide by 8 ft. high.
