No live feed today? How is the certification class going?
Where are the pictures for projects for the class retreat in Fredricksburg Tx? I don't see anything but a button to pay for the retreat>
I’m a volunteer at the Frank Lloyd Wright house in College Hill. We participate every year in the Holiday Table displays at Mark Arts. This year we are recreating The peacock room from The Imperial Hotel in Tokyo which FLW was building at the same time as The Allen House. There is picture we have of a fresco piece which was hung above the room. It’s an old picture but u can see the design and the colors. You can take some liberty with the colors n design as long it’s a fairly close representation of original.
The display area we have is only 10 x 8 and we have two walls. Not exactly sure how we will display the fresco. Maybe u have some ideas.
The display needs to be done by November 5 or 6. I know it’s not much time but we will be happy with a representation of the fresco. There’s no need to be overly detailed.
I am attaching the only color picture of the fresco I have been able to find
We are obviously a non-profit organization and would need a very reasonable bid to luaus this. But the exposure for your company would be tremendous. We would include your name and company on the table sign and it would also appear in the program. Hundreds of people visit the Tables every year. Please let me know if you have questions. Thx so much. Lisa Steiner.

Taken from the Decorative Painter Magazine. Thank you Miho for a beautiful design. I’ve only been painting for 1 1/2 years, hope I did it justice❤️
IMSDP – Weekly Wednesday Museum Artwork
Rebecca Baer CDA was inspired by flowers in her garden when she designed, "Iris Medley".
The International Museum of Society Decorative Painters (IMSDP) is the recipient of the artwork! The Museum of Decorative Painting in Atlanta, Georgia donated the painting to the IMSDP June 2018. It’s always important in a museum collection to know the provenance of the artwork. The more you know and can record, the more valuable and collectible the piece becomes.
The painting in the International Museum of Society of Decorative Painters (IMSDP) is a smaller rendition of an original canvas painted in acrylics, measuring 18" x 36", which was designed for a multi-day seminar. When demonstrating the painting process, she typically recreates the design on a durable surface, whether that is an item of furniture, a frame-able substrate or, in this case, a cabinet door, so that the end result is an object with value.
Rebecca was born in Baltimore, Maryland and has spent most of her life in the mid-
Atlantic region of the United States.
Beginning at a young age Rebecca’s talent was noticed through awards and honors at school. In early adulthood she turned to technical illustration, which greatly influenced her attention to detail as she transitioned to the role of designer.
Decorative Painting became part of her life in 1993, shortly after she joined the Society of Decorative Painters (SDP) and earned the distinction of Certified Decorative Artist (CDA) in 1996. She has successfully passed the master stroke work level of the Master Decorative Artist (MDA).
Rebecca is a teacher, designer and publisher of step-by-step tutorials. She began teaching at the SDP Conferences in 1996 and her class was repeated three times!
Rebecca and her husband Bobby work together in their art business. Bobby handles the day-to-day operations which gives Rebecca the time to design and pursue creative product development through her trademarked name. In 2001 she launched a line of stencils which created a broad cross-market appeal and expanded into an ever-widening circle of creative friends.
Rebecca and Bobby, plus their two daughters, have spent many wonderful years working together, traveling throughout the United States as well as abroad. Decorative painting has taken them countless miles allowing them to make many friends, experience other cultures and, with the exception of North Dakota and Alaska, travel through every state in our beautiful country.
She appreciates a wide range of artistic styles and mediums from watercolors to china painting, oils and acrylics. Her love for the look of oils, admiration of fine detail, and penchant for water-based media influenced her original and widely recognized style, creating the look of oils with the convenience of acrylics. In more recent years she has expanded the list of mediums to include watercolors, enjoying the challenges and occasional unpredictability of this medium. It is the primary medium for her work intended for licensing.
