THESE TWO LARGE PANELS ARE THE DOORS THAT LEAD FROM THE KITCHEN TO THE MAIN DINING ROOM AND COMPLEMENT THE COLUMNS THAT SURROUND THE DINING ROOM.

SEEN ENTERING A LONG AMSTERDAM HALLWAY, THIS PAINTING DISGUISES THE SMALL WALL REFRIGERATOR BY CONTINUING THE SHELVING AROUND THE CORNER AND "PLACING" SPECIAL ELEMENTS FROM THE OWNER ONTO THE SHELVES.

THIS TRIPTYCH WAS DESIGNED FOR AN AMSTERDAM KITCHEN THAT ADJOINS THE GARDEN. THE KITCHEN’S LARGE YELLOW BEAMS ARE USED AS AN ELEMENT IN THE DESIGN: CONSEQUENTLY THE LONG HORIZONTAL FORMAT OF THE PAINTING. ELEMENTS FROM A KITCHEN HAVE BEEN USED AS WELL AS AN OLD DUTCH TEXT AS A DECORATIVE ELEMENT.

THIS KITCHEN OPENS TO A SMALL INNER COURTYARD. THE WALLS HAVE BEEN PAINTED WITH THREE BOYS IN A TREE AS THE OWNER HAS THREE GIRLS!

THIS VERY SMALL GARDEN(2.46 X 2.28) PAINTED IN OLD YELLOW WITH TRELLIS WORK HAS ALSO A TROMPE L’OEIL PAINTED TRELLIS TO ALLOW THE ADDITION OF VARIOUS BIRDS TO GIVE THE FEELING OF BEING IN AN AVIARY. WITHIN THIS SMALL SPACE HANGS A SWING THAT ROTATES 360 DEGREES FOR LAZY SUMMER AFTERNOONS, WHILE IN THE CORNER IS A SMALL WELL WITH A LADDER ESPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR THE RESIDENT FROGS. THERE IS ALSO A SMALL, DECORATIVE WATER FOUNTAIN. THE TRELLIS WORK CONTINUES UP PAST THE SECOND FLOOR OF THE HOUSE AND FEATURES A TROMPE L'OEIL WINDOW AS SEEN, AND CONTINUING FROM THE DESIGN OF THE MAIN SITTING ROOM.

THIS GARDEN PAINTING SURROUNDED BY GRAPE VINES HAS A BLACK BIRD CARRYING A MESSAGE IN A LETTER AGAINST A DEEP BLUE SKY.
