Yesterday I hung some new pieces in a beautiful home in Shavertown. Val said 'my house is an open canvas' as there were many blank walls begging for some original art work. She picked a pair of salt and pepper shaker paintings for the dining area and a stretched butterfly silk painting for the den. She and her husband commissioned me to do two pieces for their spacious living room - one of a ginkgo and one of lupine - both images have symbolic significance to their life together with their three beautiful kids.
