The opportunity arrived when Donna Phelps of The Sarasota School of Decorative Arts invited me to meet these wonderful artists. This is when foils were just starting to make an appearance which I believe was first introduced to the decorative art market by Gary. The innovation of course has made a huge impact and now foils are commonly used by nearly every decorative artist that I know of. However I have changed a couple of things but the design pretty much remains the same and I wouldn't feel right if I didn't give credit where credit is do. Thank you so much!

I am about to endeavor on a few mural painting projects for my manager at my daytime gig, a flower shop. But there will be anticipated awkward angles I'll have to work with, much like this, incl. vaulted ceilings and above kitchen cabinetry daisy garland. Besides, being an art graduate, I can appreciate the realistic look of this but also the color choices. It really pops! That's what I hope to achieve for my boss in her home, things that pop but are also enjoyable to come home to. Thanks for this, it may help me in my techniques...and pricing...
