Young Leopard

In this piece, done as a companion for the Egrets below, I combined tissue, acrylic and pastels for a colorfull, decorative piece. These two were comissioned for a large, bright library in a private home. Let me know if they give you new thoughts for your decorating ideas.

Two Egrets

This egret piece was sold, but I wanted to show the use of colored tissue and painting, a combination I find fun to do and the papers add a certain vibrancy and freedom to the work. I am currently working in this style with figures.
On commission pieces, I would change the backgrounds to somewhat match your color needs.

Hammock

Another hammock, this time without any frame. This was hung from two points at the end of the hammock.
I did a similar piece on request that measured 6 feet long for an outdoor lounge area with colours to match the patio furniture.
Great fun to do as well as a conversation piece for the owner.

This was done in acrylic with pastel on wood and heavily sealed.
I would be happy to do "Hammock" on request.
Price is determined by size, starting at $200 US

Leg Out

Since I am in the middle of moving, I will show some past work. This was sold, but can be replicated on request with your colors on the hammock.
"Leg Out" is on wood cut out with the leg beyond the frame.
It is painted in acrylic and pastel.
I also did several of this theme with only the hammock and leg.

Depending on size, the pieces run from $200 US + S&H

Wood Dance

Since I am in the process of packing and moving, this posting is of a piece done a while ago. It is of painted/stained wood (pine, mahogany, greenheart) and stands about 27" high (70 m)
I tried to catch the feeling of wind moving trees as if dancing.
