Custom Orders

This section shows a variety of different items that were painted as custom orders for different clients.

Often a client liked items that I have on the site or display in shows but they either need a specific item to be in a color scheme that works with their house or they like a specific design but would like it painted on a totally different surface.

If you have interest in a custom piece to match your decor or to be painted on a specific surface, please contact me by email.

A client asked for suggestions for a fireplace screen for her home. She used a lot of peach in her home so I suggested the peach colored urn. She also loved hydrangeas.

I hand painted shades of different hydrangeas including some that were not quite mature and put these in a peach urn,topped off with a big beautiful bow.

The background is a soft green with stripes of a subdued gold mottled over the green.

The screen was entered in the Dixie Classic Fair in Winston-Salem, NC in 2005 and won second place for acrylic painting on wood.




These two tissue boxes were painted for the same client.

She wanted the tissue boxes to match the wallpaper colors she had in two bathrooms.

I hand painted the light colored one with an off white background and used the other colors of her wallpaper, gold, green and blue.

The dark colored tissue box also matches the wallpaper in another bathroom. The background is black which is the base color of her wallpaper. Then I added the shades of blue and lavender to match the other colors in the wallpaper.










This is a 3' x 4' hand painted floor mat; it is a copy of the client's old mat.

She loved her old mat but it had gotten stained and worn. This is an exact copy of her original mat except for the artistic license I used to add a couple of flowers and strawberry blooms where the old mat only had the strawberries.

I also added a dark green border that the original mat did not have.







This hand painted napkin holder was ordered by a customer who wanted an old napkin holder painted with something new that was more masculine.

This was an item he had received after a divorce and the light green and wild flowers just wasn’t what he wanted. The first thing I had to do was to repair the napkin holder. One side was loose so that was refastened and the whole thing was then sanded for a nice smooth new surface. The design and colors were left up to me. His only stipulation was “not flowery”.

I then painted a faux wood background which I thought was more masculine than light green. Then I added the luscious red cherries on one side only. I left the other side to show off the background. This new finish will look great when he entertains now.

The napkin holder measures 5” x 6” x 2-1/2”. Wouldn’t you like to have a pretty napkin holder for your home?
