I thought I would post the final results of the recent cabinet faux finish that I completed last week. As you all know my favorite kind of finish and art is trompe leoil and I will always jump at the chance of painting it no matter how challenging the design. The lay out and design comes pretty easy to me being that I have studied most of this in school during all my drafting and blue print making days. All my perspective education was taught in my younger years in school and was one of the first things we learned in art classes was the importance one point, two point, atmospheric perspective and many more.
At 12 years old I designed and built my very first gun cabinet for my grandfather and at 13 I built a grandfather clock for my mother out of cherry they were both bigger than I was lol
Being that we had no money for college and coming from a hard working blue collar family I soaked up every ounce of education that was offered to me through school until I finally had to go to work at 16, and I am still that way today
Of course I am not 16 any longer but I do crave knowledge and learning and at this point of my life I find myself teaching more and more of what I have learned over the last 30 plus years.
So with that being said I am in the process of opening a new studio in Bonita Springs Fl which is will be an open working studio but I will also be having classes of many different art forms from decorative to fine art and may even have some sculpting and carving classes. At any rate there will be lots of fun and activity at the location with not only Art-Faux Designs but also with other businesses in the building working under a coop situation
