This is a monotype by Richmond artist Cindy Neuschwander.  The wallpaper was created by trompe l'oeil artist Richard Lowell Neas for Brunschwig & Fils.  The wallpaper, created in the 80's is iconic.  I love the way the modern piece looks on this wallpaper.  Both elements hold their own with each other while making the other look even better in the process. 

A dear friend 12 years ago suggested I plant these New Dawn Roses.  This morning I'm glad I did!

Welcome to the launch of my newly designed website.  This has been a labor of love many months in the making.  I'm particularly excited about the blogging aspect of my website and I'm anxious to try it out.  I hope you will check back often to see posts of new work as well as other things that are of interest to me at the moment.   I promise only to bring you really stimulating stuff - if I don't have anything great to say I'll stay quiet!

My first photo is of my dogs Winnie (9ish) and Sabrina (13).  They  are the standard by which I judge true beauty!  More to come........I promise!
