Walking for inspiration on the boards

Lonely Seaside Heights Life guard on a grey morning

 This morning Tuesday May 28th I laid in bed thinking I have to get motivated to come up with some new ideas.. I have eight commissioned pieces that need to get completed and a garage filled of items that need to be painted for Septembers stretch of Shows.

I decided to put on the sneakers and walk the 5 mile walk from Seaside Park to the Heights and back.....There is no better way to  think and clear your head....

Today I am sharing some shots that I took along the way....

A shop that isn't ready to open yet...the pink doors torn from the storm

The sky ride wheel laying on the sandy beach

A beautiful Sand Rose on the dunes of Seaside Park

A talented beach attended remembering those that served for our country

I'll have to stop by someday to try the Screw Sandy Cocktail

The Tall Boy Comes Back To Life

Here he is a bit shy hiding among the others notice his colors

I am currently working with this client that has inherited lots of furniture all in various stages of life.

This pass week we brought this Tall Boy back from being painted as a zebra in black and white with some spread of garage mold to a handsome useful proud chest of drawers.  He was pretty banged up with lots of drip paint and chips galore.....but he hung in there...

Brought him outside for some clean up

He is gleaming with his fresh new look

He is waiting to come in doors after his final coating of wax

Here he stands proudly with his new colors

He looks great in his Annie Sloan Paloma Base and his Old Violet wash with a hint of Verailles and Anibes 

We are hoping he can head home this week.....He will need the rest after the week that he had....
