Atlanta Symphony Decorator Showhouse - 2010

Atlanta Symphony Decorator Showhouse - 2010









2010 Atlanta Symphony Decorator Showhouse opens . This years theme is "Fleurs de Giverny". This spectacular home located in Buckhead, an upscale area in Atlanta, is the former home of Arthur Blank- founder of Home Depot. Beautifully landscaped grounds reminiscent of Monet's Giverny cover 4 1/2 amazing acres. This years showhouse (the 40th anniversary) features 28 top Atlanta designers . I painted for Kim Regas of Regas Interiors a large landscape mural painted on gesso and plastered burlap. This large piece measured approx. 8' x 10' and was hung by drapery rods. Also, a aged finish on the cabinets of the entertaining gallery. The opening gala was held on Friday evening and was a french themed event. Showhouse continues through May 9th.

M.Pierre Lefumat- Master artist



Sad news for the decorative painting world. M. Pierre Lefumat passed away on March 9, 2010 in France. He was an master painter and artist and a member of Salon. M. Lefumat created amazing marbles and wood that were truly works of art. I first meet him in Oslo in 2004 and watched him paint an amazing onyx. He will always be remembered as a kind, gentle man that loved his craft and sharing with others.
