Residential Murals

These murals below are some of the various designs and styles that can change the entire charater of a room. Inspiration comes from nature, room colors, use of the room , and the client's and designer's ideas. The paintings, and murals can be a look into a dream or simply a beautiful way to enhance a room. Exploring new techniques, and new art tools, as well as new substructures, are what keeps the passion for painting alive.

The eight gates of the old city of Jerusalem are what I began as a series. The paintings are all 24x30 inches on stretched canvas. The paintings are mixed media with heavy impasto paint, and charcoal, pencil, and acrylic, and oil washes.

The Monkey Paintings

The Monkey Paintings began in 1984 at the Monkey Bar which is located in the Hotel Elysee on East 54th Street NYC. The first monkeys were painted in 1946 and 1955 by Eugene Eakin and then Charles Vella. Diane Voyentzie painted monkeys first in 1984 and then in 1995, when the Bar was renovated. It has been the scene of many movies and TV programs. The BrickTops Monkeys are an offshoot of the Monkey Bar monkeys. The BrickTops Restaurant Group which has wonderful restaurants, in Naples, Palm Beach, Nashville, Charlotte, Atlanta, and other cities, have showcased the monkeys for almost 25 years. The restaurant owns the monkeys in each of its restaurants, but I take commissions for original paintings.
