Interiors

People say that I bring the outdoors inside.  Sometimes it’s through realism and other times with a touch of whimsy.   A tiny splash of color adds interest, and big splash of color adds drama.  Surely the larger-than-life heliconia below would attract unique hummingbird pollinators?…

This heliconia painting brightens a sitting area near stairway – Mindo Ecuador

Painted bamboo rails prepare the visitor for an injection of color.

Hand-painted concrete floor meets old floor.

Whimsical “Endemic Art”

The Artist’s Nest! – Mindo Ecuador

Mindo’s cloud forests keeps one immersed in nature; perhaps it’s time for sleep and sweet dreams – and be ready for early-morning birding!

Meanwhile on Ecuador’s Pacific Coast, step into Casa Loca…  oops, here’s what it looked like before the makeover:

Bodega before…

Bodega – after the Magic Carpet makeover… Acrylic on Concrete

Casa Loca – Jama Ecuador – Even the floor is painted!*    — * The earthquake affected the riverbank and two corners of the house, but the floor did not receive one crack!

Yes, that’s paint!

Let’s peek upstairs…

Upstairs at Casa Loca –  Before the window seat was installed: hand-painted wooden floor, double-sided painting on hinges to protect and secure window.  Sit and swing for a while!
