Floor Paintings by Suzanne Dalton

Celtic Knot painting 8 feet x 12 feet Master bedroom floor with birdseye maple surround

I'm fascinated with the concept of the floor as a huge canvas. The process of painting on that scale is exciting. A painted carpet...decorative yes, but magically capturing the imagination with tales of places in a distinct past.
