Brainstorming on barnstorming.
A great client and friend has this wonderful Waco biplane, and needed to tart up his hanger in an appropriate way.
As I started to pitch ideas "a-d" he stopped me. "Just do whatever you want, I know it will be cool." Thats all I wanted to hear!
I did most of the work here in the bay area on a huge 15'X25' canvas. It was then rolled and taken down to Paso Robles to be installed.
Yes... he loves it.

Exterior decorating.
With the inside of the house finally coming into focus, it felt right to start to turn some thought to the outside.
I have hardly noticed that I have a large back yard. It has been a construction dump and weed patch for the past two years, but it could be a demi shangrala with a bit of sweat and smarts.
First off however, it needed grading out to get rid of the slope that prevented the yard from ever being used as a living space... a job for a bloke with a Bobcat.
I have started to plan things out in sketchup. Its from Google, it's free and its totally nuts.
The t&g siding on the side of the "barn" is a wreck, so I plan to loose the window and put a big slider around the back with a small deck. I want to re-side the barn with flat siding and paint it out with a trompe garden (ditto with the fence) blurring the join to make the brain take the illusion for granted. This is going to be fun!
