The Jon Allen Collection is an exclusive, hand-selected group of my most personal work to date. Each piece is hand-painted on aluminum. My art itself and my chosen medium, aluminum, are blissfully married. You may not think of the word organic when you hear the word metal, but this is some of my most organic art and that’s simply because metal allows my work to achieve true sentience. Aluminum’s naturally reflective nature enables each color, shape, and stroke to reach its full potential. A new aspect of the painting will reveal itself to you as it basks in the light that surrounds, evades, or envelops it in that moment. When you see the piece from different angles, you will appreciate how vibrant, dynamic, and environmentally influenced these pieces are. What you may see and feel by morning is not what you’ll see or feel by dusk and in many ways, and as such I feel these pieces capture the ever-ebbing and complex nature of human emotion and perception. Number of Pieces: 1 Dimensions: 48” H x 24” W x 2" off the wall Care & Cleaning: Clean with a soft cloth and plain soap & water Other Features: Hardware is pre-installed for simple hanging and art will “float” 2” off the wall

This simple yet classic floral design features calla lilies and tulips that look and feel real. Available in a contemporary wood or mirrored glass vase, Buttercup is a stunning centerpiece. The floral arrangement is battery operated making it easy to move from a dining room celebration– to any space in your home as a lamp or floral accessory.

This front garden with low-water Mediterranean plants in shades of green replaced a thisty lawn and beautifully complements the transitional style home. New concrete pavers provide a clear, attractive entry as well as “landing spots” along the the driveway.
