Micky’s Lake House - Lonesome Dove Territory
Inside Micky’s Lake House of Possum Kingdom, Texas there is an expansive wall that was asking to be filled with something special to represent the beauty of lake life. We brainstormed and Micky shared his favorite resident fish. With his inspirations and my resin layered painting invention we created this 5 panel scene of clear lucite — a bursting ecosystem of Large Mouth Bass, sunfish, Bream, minnows, and even a painted turtle. They are installed on the wall with an easy hanging system that came with the painting.

LeAnn's Custom Home decor
LeAnn messaged me wanting to jump right in with having three paintings completed for her home. She thought about what size painting she wanted, and wanted a large luminous resin layered painting incorporating elements of several paintings I have completed in the past combined with imagery herself. She wanted clear blue water beneath only.
We created a third piece that headed to the themes of the sky and certain birds that remind LeAnn of home. She wanted to incorporate subtle radiant light into the background.
In the end, LeAnn came to the studio having just finished her defense of her thesis at Smith to pick up her painting.
Yi Lin's Floating Shimmering Shoal on Lucite
Yi Measured the size of the space for me and came to me with a size idea and budget she had in mind. I sent over some sketches for possible variations of paintings to fit over the space. She really wanted to go for something large and lovely at 40" x 96" on clear acrylic.
For her piece, I got all the required hanging materials and provided a guide for hanging. She had a professional install this piece in her home. The weight is distributed over 10 points on the wall with heavy wall anchors so that there is no wear & tear to her walls.
Rose's Wedding Party
Rose wanted her special wedding party on this beautiful beach immortalized in painted. We figured out a specific size and she sent over images and her initial deposit through PayPal. I sent over a sketch of the basic structure of the painting, and she made some suggestions. I listened to her suggestions then got to work. She then paid her second installment through an electronic invoice I sent over when we agreed we were on the same page.
In the Example of Rose's painting, she sent me several wedding group portraits and I composed a single painting from the images she sent for her first sketch.
Rose's painting measures 40" x 60" and was shipped on rolled canvas to a frame shop she specified for me. I got in touch with them to confirm the delivery and sent her painting in a mailing tube for them to frame.
Suzanne's Bliss
Suzanne reached out to me to help make a large painting for her home that recreated the sweet memory of an awakening she had as a young woman swimming alone in the clear blue waters of Lake Tahoe. We collaborated, me swapping sketch images to try and match her story of her vision until we came to the appropriate representation of her younger self feeling the freedom of her body in jeweled blues and ecstatic color. When her painting was complete, I rolled up the canvas and sent it to a frame shop near her town to have to stretched for its' new home.
It's possible for people to dream up big painting projects on canvas. Shipping canvas to a local frame shop is a far less expensive and safer option than shipping a large painting in a crate.
