Beautiful Day!

Wow, what a day so far.

First of all, it is an absolutely gorgeous, sun aglow morning, the kind that you don't take for granted and that we wait all year round for in this mostly gray utopia.

Then, to top it off, I first heard then saw a pod of Orca whale swim by. I counted 5 for sure and am almost sure on a 6th. One had the biggest dorsal fin, twice as high as the other's. I swear it looked about the size of a keel on a 30' sailboat. There is now a slight breeze but at that time of the day the water was calm and not a boat to be seen so their familiar whoosh of expelled air was easily heard. Oh water. One of the many perks of living on the Puget Sound.

A recently finished project:


These are 2 flat panel slider doors that my client wanted to have more dimension so I painted faux "millwork" to the outer surface. She wanted the look to be clean and simple with a bit of age. The painted "medallions" added some detail and softened the corners.




















Here is a detail of the "millwork" and "medallion":
