Dance of the Painted Lady



Home from the Putnam Historical District in Zanesville, Ohio painted with the inspiration from "The Painted Ladies" style color combination.




The base colors here are applied in bright bold colors-almost shocking to the eye!

I then work in various layers with black glaze until I reach the exact tone and texture that is complimentary to the exterior of the homes surface.


Close up of the glaze, you can see all the movement from the grain of the wood, all the wonderfully naturally aged marks are brought out instead of hidden to give it a rich beautiful texture to the final look.
