it only looks easy


If I had a fireplace this is the screen I would have. I love how this screen feels a little Art Deco and a little modern.

Sometimes I have to mix a lot of color to get the color I know will enhance the piece just the right way. This is a fine example. I almost felt like an alchemist on this one, adding tint and adjusting how much metallic sheen I wanted. Often painting takes on a meditative quality. I get into the zone and focus to the point of obsession. Anyone who has seen me work on a custom finish can attest to my mad scientist moments; surrounded by paint, mixing and remixing, adjusting, readjusting, giving it my all.
