McMillian Dining Room

Here are two of the trompe l'oeil pieces I painted for the rounded corners of the McMillian Dining Room. I also painted smaller shells resting on trompe l'oeil moulding for the side walls.

Night-time Sky Drop




I am nearly done with this 20'x40' Starry sky drop, pending photographic approval from the client. The facility I intended to use was too active with dust-producing saws to come near with the black muslin, so I resorted to doing it in two sections in my home studio.

The flash washed out the black muslin, ironically, and there was difficulty focussing the camera, but you can still get a sense of its style.

Warren Easton: Finished!



Here is the finished mural in two photos, with the dedication portion on the nearby arch. I did my best to let their work stand alone without "tweeking" it much. It is hard to resist the urge to polish it, but I want them to walk in years from now and remember when they "did that".

Buffalo Soldiers: Warren Easton Part II



Here are more photos of the students in action! This was my best group of kids so far... they were really dedicated. I have to also give credit to their regular teacher, Mary Hannon, for understanding and guiding them so well. She provided me with a lot of insight into their personalities.


Buffalo Soldier Mural: Warren Easton Part I


As some of you may know, I am behind in uploading photos since my old computer crashed. Here are some from January of this year, when I began working with students at Warren Easton High School on another grant-funded mural project in conjunction with the New Orleans Chapter of the Buffalo Soldiers.
