Graham Rust inspired mural, the trompe l’oiel shells were painted on a dining room ceiling at a home in Beaufort, SC. The shells were painted monochromatic to appear to formed plaster with pineapples to symbolize southern hospitality. at the time I was painting the mural, a Carolina Wren had a nest just outside the window. For a touch of whimsy, the homeowner asked that I add the Wren perched one of the shells with its nest nestled within the shell on the opposite side.

This hutch was in rough shape when I first saw it. The stained finish was too dark for the room, was two separate pieces (the top was mounted to the wall) and missing moldings. I made it one piece with added mirrors and trim, replaced missing trim, and gave it an antique red finish with black glaze and rubbed gold accents. Now a bar, located in Dahlonega, GA.
