Arctic loon

This is a 6" tile I just completed to go with the Canadian wilderness mural. It will be mounted in a cheese board, showing off the mural as a kitchen accent.

The mural is complete!

I am pleased and proud when I gaze at this huge mural laying out on my worktable. More importantly, the client is pleased. I was less than confidant when I began, as the recession had hit me hard. But the people were great to work with, which ALways helps, and I felt my old passion and confidence return almost immediately. I call it my masterwork, for several reasons, one of which is the slim likelihood I will ever do a project this huge again. Not because I do not want to---bring it on! :)

A Masterwork

Shame on me for sharing a project before it is completed, I have never done that before now. But I am so excited about this huge mural of a Canadian wilderness. It is a romantic place where a lovely couple got engaged, and I have gotten caught up in their excitement. I will post more images when it is finished. Wish me luck!

Bunny Portrait

Every time I gt a client who loves their pet enough to get it immortalized on tile, it makes me want one of my own. Something soft and cuddly....like this lovely bunny, but most likely an older dog who probably wont get adopted, I am into rescue. Everyone should adopt their pets from a shelter, there is one for everyone. Go to Petfinder.com.

A New Tile Installation

This image is a lovely installation of a tile mural I did of a Scottish castle where the client was born. Cool, eh? I mean being born in a castle, silly.

Here is a different angle of the same mural. Great job they did. I love it when my clients send the pictures they take for me. Reminds me, I have to go get these on my web site too. Later, gators.

Famous Goat

This is a portrait of "Bentley", a pet goat. You may have seen him a few times on Animal Planet, doing his tricks.

A New Installation! *beaming*

I must say I am very proud of this one. It was a huge challenge, and everyone is very happy, including me. My first all black and white tile....

Great Blue Heron and Mallard Tiles

Happy New Year!

Well it's the new year. Who would have thought I would live this long? haha Anyway, since I have no new work, except for a dog portrait due in February, I decided to play with clay. I made a plaque yesterday for my address and I will be mortaring it to the front of my house. Havent picked colors yet but I will post it when it is finished. Next will be a series of steppingstones for the front to my mailbox and the back to my studio. Front first because it is flat haha. They will be large pieces of mosaic that I carve out of sculpture clay and attach to store-bought vitreous stepping stones. Cool huh?

Also I am posting another picture of my work that appeared in Timber Homes Magazine. People said you couldnt see it well, so here it is. Still cant, but I guess it is better than the other one lol.
