Lobsta Shack

|
Fonzie (pictured below) & I painted this piece of found wood for a customer with a thick Boston accent and a collection of washed ashore buoys to hang on his shed.  It’s been painted, distressed and left un-sealed to allow the sign to weather naturally in the hot New England Summer sun. 
How anyone gets anything done without Fonzie’s help is beyond me.  Here he is double checking my letter spacing.  What would I do without him?

Shark Bait, Hoo Ha Ha!

|
Some happy Tiki masks welcome in Summer on the new window in the EU.

You can almost smell the sweet fragrance of Hibiscus over the foul aroma of industrial strength cleaner and bed pans.
Almost.
These masks definitely remind me of the initiation scene from Finding Nemo:
Shark Bait, Hoo ha ha!!

New stuff in my Etsy shop!

|

Ok, the wedding’s over and I’m back from the honeymoon.  Time to get back to work…after I catch up on horribly addicting reality TV shows of course.  I mean, have you even seen Ice Loves Coco?  Amazing.

But I digress…

These little guys were just added to my Etsy shop.  Go check ’em out!

Let me know if you want something special painted.  I love custom orders!

Love That Dirty Water!

|
This month’s window painting was done in honor of my Big Sister and my BFF who are coming to visit me this weekend from Colorado!  Even though I’m probably not going to drag them to the Emergency Room to see it I was just too excited about them coming to paint anything else.  

The painting is hosted by a big red lobster and includes the 3 major sports teams currently in season.  (Sorry Pat’s fans…maybe you’ll get some love in November.)
 (UPDATE: The Celtics are out of the playoffs…daaaaangit!!)
Here’s a home-run from Fenway park…

A shot of the garden, home to the Celtics and Bruins, with the newly built Zakim Bridge going over Boston’s infamous “dirty water” the Charles River.  There’s a little duck boat in there too.  If you’ve never been on a duck boat it’s just one of those things you have to do when you’re in Boston…I’d definitely recommend checking it out.

And a card carrying member of Red Sox Nation high up in the seats atop the Green Monster.

Welcome back to Boston Missy & Gina!!  I love you!!!

Peach at the Beach!

|

Another custom painting for a very energetic, easy-excitable, super creative customer, which happens to be my favorite kind!

This young lady wanted a peach sunbathing on a beach…under an umbrella…in New England…with a banner that said so…and a sand dollar that says ‘Jean’ in one corner…and a star fish  that says ‘Garvstar’ in the other.  I like a woman who knows what she wants…and here it is!

  Painted around the edges for frame-less hanging:
Detail:

One of my long standing favorite things has always been sexy fruit (what? that’s totally normal) so I was super excited to have been asked to make this painting and am now way too excited to get started on other sexy fruit!  Like Sexy Kiwi, Sexy Strawberries, Sexy Watermelons!!  I can’t wait!
