Cuore Grigio

The Crosby, Rancho Santa Fe, CA

This piece was a lot of fun. My team and I planned with the wife to surprise her husband with a gorgeous piece that brought their bedroom together. Having just completed an exquisite custom estate in The Crosby, AND having highly refined taste, the couple wanted just the right art to compliment their beautiful home and decor.

While researching and planning for the project, I noticed a small colored heart taped above their headboard, given to them by their 1st grade daughter. This heart represented what was so important to them: Love, Peace, and their Children. You'll be able to see the abstract heart as the focal point of the piece stretching across both canvases.

Upon careful observation you'll also notice hints of mint green and pink brought in from the small plant and stone on the side table.

Amore Verde

Rancho Pacifica, Rancho Santa Fe, California

These wonderful clients have quite an amazing story. Having been married not once but twice I wanted to incorporate their story into a custom painting. Given that a ring represents unity you will see green 2 rings, representing both commitments, in the middle off the right side of both pieces separated by a dark period, depicted with a deep blue.

The outer ring is the second marriage that explodes into the rest of the piece and continues thru the home. With 2 amazing children and a life filled with love and passion, this couple wanted a bold piece that incorporated meaningful pieces of furniture collected throughout their lives. One main piece of furniture that served as inspiration for the pieces was a green chair with hints of blue, brown, and orange. The rich green and blues from the paintings also magnetically pull in colors from the outside pool and landscaping.
