  • Stone backsplash

    Ive had several PM's on board here and some emails to show more of whats been on my bench and what Ive been working on for the past 8 days.


    I had 63 each of 4X4 inch stone tiles to paint for a large home in the higher mtns. The house itself,cost over 3.5 millon not counting buying the mtn. They have a farm of Christmas trees also plus two lakes. The total area behind the stove will have more of the plain tiles around my painted ones. On the back deck,you can see into two states. Course theres build in stone fireplaces on the deck also.Air powered elvator{no cables} its glass which carrys you to the three floors of this home.I rode it down and it was like,Beam Me Up Scotty! So smooth~

    This was a hard painting due to all the holes and pits in theses stone tiles.{painting straight lines in and out of a hole is hard}

    I will take it back tomorrow and hope they like it. They have small grape vines growing now but wanted a full vineyard in this stone back splash painting.I could have made the arch with the double gates at the wall really fancy but I didnt want it to be the focus point,I wanted the whole painting to be that.

    Hope you enjoyed viewing it.

                          Corey,it should look pretty good if the guys that grout it take thier time and dont get alot of grout on the painting.

                          Im glad you liked it Corey plus I thank you for your nice thoughts about it.
