NEW! Sumi Painting on Wood

A couple wanted sumi-e painting done on the wood enclosure for their outdoor hot tub. The wood was old and weathered and needed to be sealed before winter. The location of this hot tub is not only outdoors but situated with a magnificent view of Hood Canal’s saltwater, distant shore and all the beauty of such a place including sunsets, eagles and beautiful skies. The hot tub offers tranquility, privacy and beauty located near Hoodsport Washington.
