Logo tiles
I don’t post a picture of a job till it’s paid for- call me superstitious. This one was delivered about 6 weeks ago, but the check finally came today. I’ve made these tiles for these folks before.
Tropical fish
I’ve painted a lot of tropical fish over the years. Here are some more. These will go in kind of an unusual place, though. They’re going around the base of the walls of a bathroom, like baseboard. There are plain blue ones that go in the corners to fill out each wall, so the tile setter doesn’t have to cut any of the painted ones.
Teapot
Last weekend at the Bellevue Fair, I had so many people tell me they had a painting of mine, or I had done tile for them. Always good to hear. And a couple of them said they had pots of mine! One lady sent me this picture of a teapot she’s still using.
Lake Murray
This is a really big tile that I just did for a guy in South Carolina. It’s 13” x 27”, and it’s a very detailed map of Lake Murray. He made it easy for me, as he sent me a full-sized printout of the map, so I just transferred it onto the tile with graphite paper, then followed that line with black china paint in an old-fashioned steel lettering pen.
Mt. Baker Tarn
Here’s another small painting that will be in my booth at the Bellevue Fair the weekend after next.
Another Kraken
This lady liked the Kraken backsplash I did a few months back so much she ordered one sort of like it. This one is adapted to wrap around in her space and the colors are more grey than blue, as the first one was. I hope it’s a trend!
Pika
Lately I’ve been painting, getting ready for the Bellevue Arts Museum Fair at the end of July. Here’s my latest, a pika at Mt. Rainier, 11” x 14”.
Sunset Surf
This nice big tub surround went home today. This will be 3’ wide on the right and left walls, 5’ on the back wall, tub to ceiling. There’s a window in the back wall, and the tile will come all the way to the floor in front of the tub.
MMAC
The Artist'‘s Tool Belt is installed on the Montana Museum Art & Culture! I went over Sunday and we mounted it Monday and grouted Tuesday. I’m really happy with how it looks but I must say it looks small on the building.
Beach scene
This is one wall of what will be a tub surround. This will go on your left as you look into the tub enclosure. The back wall will have a sunset and a surfer riding a wave.
