This is an old painting project. I’m trying to remember the year but am having a hard time. 😉 . . . I painted the walls and umbrella vaulted ceiling in the round room. – It was a showcase house in Los Altos Hills, CA.

Old project in my old studio out on Yosemite street in the San Francisco Bay View area. – I bought up a ton of oval wooden boxes and painted the outside. (and inside) – Here they are, on my table in the studio. ~>

A few other studio shots. I was working on an acrylic painting, on canvas.

The shot below was taken on an open studio day. Not sure what year.

When I had a painting and design business years ago I would draw designs out on velum or thin tracing paper and then transfer the image on to a canvas or wall – whatever surface it was painted on. I sometimes used transfer paper or rubbed graphite on the back of the drawing and then re-traced the image.

This is what other panels of the paintings looked liked in progress. The color images were scanned from older color prints. Pre-digital cameras.
