Beautifully Cracked & Chipped- Re-finishing Furniture- My Newest Obsession!
My new found love for re-finishing furniture has become a new passion of mine. I love giving an old piece of furniture new life & finding it's functionality again. On the other hand my house is getting full of painted furniture, and it's almost starting to look like a store in some rooms! Well, it's not that bad, but you get my point :) Below are a few projects I've done. The first is this console / bookshelf that seriously just seemed sad. I had just gotten done with my "Murmuration" mural with a black skeleton tree on it and thought how sweet it would be to paint a tree up the side of this console table. Here are my before and afters... check it out:)
After: I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint- Barcelona Orange & Graphite (mixed with white & a bit of country blue to soften it up)... finished with both Chalk Paint's clear wax and dark wax.

New Aircraft Paintings Complete!
Well I think it's about time I post some new blog entries! It's something I always seem to forget, and my goal is to post my work more frequently on here. Below are images of my most recent aircraft paintings in several different color variations available for print purchase. The first picture is an MQ-9 Reaper... I love how the colors turned out:
Shown below is my "MQ-1 Predator" shown in all my color options:
