Inspired by an artist friend of mine
Debra Fuchs-Zimmerman of Warwick NY., I have created a wall plaque out of a broken decorative bookcase. I met Debra when I had my shop in Sugar Loaf. She has a fascinating talent for painting..well basically..anything & everything. It could be paint can lids, scrap wood, galvanized pails...really unexpected items. The bookcase I found was tiered with 4 shelves that varied in size. I have so far only painted the smallest one. I love the shape of these shelves & the beveled edge really gives the shape definition. I treated the wood with my signature "white-weathered" paint finish and then free-hand painted "fresh flowers" onto it. I really look foward to working on the larger pieces which will look absolutely stunning over a doorway, headboard or mantlepiece. Stay tuned.
