These
paintings were painted for William Belk, owner of Belk
Department Stores. The three paintings hang on the second
story foyer, visible from the front door of the Belk home
in Charlotte, NC. The initial idea for the paintings stemmed
from a piece of torn wallpaper but quickly was enhanced
to include some of their favorite images. The enchanting
English garden motif comes from their extensive travels
abroad. The center painting features the Belks' favorite
castle in England and the side paintings enhance it with
regal peacocks.
