New side to my painting business card



It seemed logical to advertise my drawings and paintings on one card so here is the new reverse side. http://www.illuminatedinspirations.com/ is the site I have for selling the illuminated quotations that I already have made and I hope to get some orders for custom work via my number and email that are on the other side of the card. The first image is from a CD cover, the second from a wedding invitation I made for a friend, the third is part of an Illuminated Inspirations design and the fourth is from a holy day program at the Baha'i House of Worship. All were done in the last few years.

15' Dome Painting



This is my largest painting to date and I really enjoyed the whole project. I hope to paint in more spiritual centers in the future. It cut all the stencils, traced them on the dome and then hand painted everything. This is the way, thus far, that I've done all the painting projects. The gold leaf is Dutch but still catches the light quite well.

Daystar Acadamy in Beijing



This was the first major painting project that I did and it included seven beams, two door trims and two window trims using the school colors and a little gold. For some reason, the uploaded image is a bit on the green side.

Moroccan Bedroom


The painting in the lower let corner was designed to show off the tile in the center that my client purchased near the Alhambra Palace. The desing itself was inspired by details in the tiles.

Paintings I did in Chicago and Beijing

This is a mixture of a few painted works over the last few years. The egg was done using a patterned that I'd made for the Moroccan room. The restaurant is Jaipur Restaurant down on Randolph in Chicago. The pages on the bottom are old printed Bible pages from Germany that I illuminated for a book dealer in Chicago.
