Painting a Mountain Landscape on a Clawfoot Tub.
A few years ago I was commissioned to “paint mountains” on a clawfoot tub. I can’t even tell you how much I enjoyed this process, from priming the tub, to the final protective coat.
I received a little note from my client, and a little excerpt of it went like this:
“I love your work and the artistry you have brought to my home is beautiful. I will cherish it! …”
“Can you paint mountains on a tub?”
That was all she said and I had full creative license to do what I wanted. How amazing is it that people put enough trust in me to create this mountainous landscape on their tub…permanently! It’s astounding but I really loved how it came out. This time, I didn’t really know how it would turn out.
The client has since sold the house, and the tub, and I do wonder if the new owners appreciate the landscape painted tub.
