Tomorrow I will back talking about “My Voyage to Painting Murals, again.” Today I thought I would interject a fun little painting project. Earlier today I met with a potential client and wanted to refer her to my website to see this room but realized I hadn’t posted photos to my website yet. Jenny was seven […] […] One of the first projects I took on after returning to my world of painting in 2008 was for a lovely couple in Colorado Springs. Suzanne Cowen, a talented designer in town, called to see if I was still painting murals. I met with Suzanne at her client’s home to discuss painting a ceiling in their […] […] My starting point for this project was flowers. My client loves flowers but in particular orchids. In fact, she gave me my first orchid. My personal goal is to have at least one orchid blooming at all times in my home. If I find I have none blooming I begin my search and usually come […] […] The Mary Lou Beshears Breast Care Center in Colorado Springs was privileged to receive a donation of six digital mammogram machines from Mr. Beshears. It was my honor to be asked to design signage in the lobby as well as the entry to the Breast Care Center before their formal dedication. During a phone call from […] […] The Signature Shop is in Broadmoor Main. Items which have a Broadmoor Logo can be found there. When I was asked to design and hand paint an arch for the Signature Shop entrance I thought it would be done in the same color scheme as the arches I had painted in the Golf Clubhouse. When I […] […] After the first of the four arches was installed I was asked hand paint an arch directing guests to the Golf Pro Shop. This arch needed to coordinate to the first one but different enough to keep the room interesting. Two items to be incorporated into the design were the Pro Shop logo and a […] […] My thought process in creating the first of four hand painted archways for the Broadmoor was to create continuity between the original artwork in the Main building, which was painted in 1918, and the newly constructed areas. Many of the artists were brought to Colorado by train from New York to work when the hotel […] […] The Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs has a wonderful spa with incredible amenities. This subtle, yet elegant sign in the lobby of the Golf Club House directs guests to the Spa area. The Spa logo is actually painted in blues but with the other two arches that I have painted in this area the blues […] […] During a renovation at the Broadmoor Resort in Colorado Springs I was asked to paint simple designs on porcelain tiles that were to be in stalled on the risers of a newly constructed exterior staircase. Having taught freehand design on ceramics and porcelain for many years I thought this would be a pleasant change of pace […] […] As a follow-up to an earlier post entitled “Be Fearless”, I did get the commission for the painting in the Birthing Operating rooms in a local hospital. Still, it amazes me the care they give to assure the comfort of their patients and staff. To learn more about this special hospital and its services read […] […] |
