Canan http://www.muralinc.com/blog/?p=92 At 12′ x 12′, this is another biggie. We think the mix of the informal checkered border and the more classic feel of the wing design element is ideal for the outdoor porch space where this floorcloth will sit. A round pedistal table will occupy the center space.  We love working with this client who has spectacular taste!Pedestal Table Floorcloth

This 7′ X 18′ background for a photo-op at the theme park was painted on panels in the studio in typical Pettegrew style. Here’s a pic of the installation.Installation

Barrel Racing

Alison can draw and paint animals and people like nobody’s bee’s wax.  Her most recent commission is a watercolor and pencil rendering of a teenage girl competing in a horse barrel race.  Awesome.  Spot on Alison!

Photo ops at Gatorland

These hand painted marine plywood cut outs are for tourist photo opportunities at Gatorland.  We cut them out and painted them in the studio, then delivered them to the park.  Tourists from all over the world stand behind these structures to have their mug in an aligator’s caldron, creating a special photo to send home to Granny.

In order to make it appealing to a broader range of tastes, this floorcloth is one of the most conservative pieces we’ve done, and at 5′ x 5′, it is certainly one of our smaller pieces. Very pretty, though, right? We hope it will find a good home.

Come join us at the Maitland Art Center for the event May 8 from 6 to 9 pm. See www.maitlandartcenter.org for more info on pARTicipation.

This could be yours! Donated floorcloth in situ.
