Faux Marquetry Floor

Byjkmitchell May 24, 2017

  There was almost no wall space in this kitchen so it was all about the floor.  I spent more time measuring and re-measuring, and then, taping, taping, taping than I did actually painting.  Precision is important when you’re working with geometry!  I was very happy with how my design worked in this space.  So…

The Night Sky Ceiling

Byjkmitchell January 31, 2017

This ceiling is a barrel vault, fourteen feet high at the top.  I had to work off staging.  Miserable.  But at the same time, I loved it.  Such a special project.  The homeowner and I had already agreed that it needed to be a night sky, but I wanted more direction.  When I paint for…

Blue Jay Feathers

Byjkmitchell January 31, 2017

I love blue jay feathers!  I collect them.  They’re so shimmery.  I know that some people think blue jays are a nuisance, but not in my book.  One day when I was walking home from the bus stop I saw a fledgling bouncing on the side of the road, trying to fly.  I walked towards it and,…

Herring Gull

Byjkmitchell January 28, 2017

I painted this cheeky looking fellow for a lovely Scottish gentleman who worked his entire career as a merchant marine.  I think he missed the constant company of the herring gulls.  Now he has one in his master bath to watch him brush his teeth every morning.

Over the Hot Tub

Byjkmitchell January 28, 2017

This project was a family affair.   It was the Mom that wanted the mural.   She wanted a view with mountains, fields, grape vines and  a marble columned trellis.   The Dad wanted the bottle of wine on the center panel.   He actually selected a bottle from his wine cellar for me to work…

The Banana Fan

Byjkmitchell January 28, 2017

I had a canvas ready.  I had already painted it black with a white field with no inkling to what was going to happen next.  I hung it on my studio wall and let it stare at me.  Channeling my inner Paul Klee, I waited for it to tell me what it needed.  Then, after…

The Eight Foot Heron

Byjkmitchell January 26, 2017

His name is Michael.  That’s what the homeowner named him.  “After the recent hurricane”, she said.   I love that he has a name.  This handsome devil is nearly eight feet tall and graces the entryway of a home in Beaufort, NC.  I think it’s obvious that it’s a (huge) homage to Audubon.

The Neverland Banner

Byjkmitchell January 26, 2017

I painted this banner for a 2005 production of Peter Pan at the Seacoast Repertory Theatre.  It was a companion to the Pirate Banner.   The venue is a three-quarter thrust stage and has no fly system.  Thus the use of small banners that can be taken out in other ways.  The image is based on a Rockwell…
