My first effort at this for our own bathroom. Paints were a variety of transparent paints, stains and textures applied by brush, sponge and spray can. This window is 18″ x 36″.

This window insert was created for my late father-in-law from a thumbnail image in a greeting card catalog. The panel measures 48″ x 17″.

This painting was grouped together in a collage of other small studies of earlier buildings that served this banking enterprise. The commission was ordered to celebrate their 100th year in business.
Metal advertising sign

Another effort at re-creating an advertising panel from an old magazine ad. Again, the metal panel has bends and blemishes for character. My father owned this early 50s vintage ancestor of the SUVs. My mother called it the “box.” The Willys was Jeep’s effort to produce a line of passenger cars in those years. Before […]

This is something you’ll not likely find elsewhere – an advertising sign with a random arrangement vehicles of different model years. The background is based on an actual location along interstate 74 in northwestern Illinois between Peoria and the Quad Cities. The green Chevy II station wagon was a vehicle I owned at the time. […]
Restored theater marquee

This metal marquee was found in attic space above a downtown store and donated to our local museum. After i repainted it, a neon bender re-installed the neon tubing to bring the old sign back to life. It is mounted in the center hall of the Amory Regional Museum, which is the subject of a […]
Banner

This banner was approximately 40′ long x 6′ high, painted on two rows of butcher paper. This was the year after the historic devastation of Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi – a most appropriate theme!
