Large Projects
















There are times when you just enjoy larger projects ....like the above piano bench on 13st....chair seats and rugs fall into this category...sometimes a pain to come up with a sketch that suits the customer, and to decide on colors to mix....trying to make sure you have mixed enough so you don't run out, and have to mix more...which you always end up having to do...lol...then like most of us , it is the starting....it seems hard sometimes knowing it will be days before you complete the project...but then you have a good first day...everything seems to work...and you can see that the end piece will be satisfying...as an artist you have to have these kind of projects to keep yourself viable in the public eye as a custom artist....sadly the larger projects are not in as much demand as when I started in the 70's...12 chair sets was the norm... rugs were the rage.... even hassocks and full chairs ...but it is pricey and time consuming...I myself don't have that kind of dedication ...painting it is one thing but working it...I am more the small pieces for models...I could commit it to a cuff...but nuts to a whole stocking......
