Buon Fresco is delighted to announce that our Italian Plaster design of Marble Blocks has [for the second time in the 3 NSO Show Houses that we have done] afforded us the prestigious honor of being awarded The Elizabeth Warnock Prize for Decorative Painting Excellence!

Our wall design is a very glassy, very beautiful southwestern clay colored Italian Plaster with one rounded rotunda style wall being finished in blocks of smooth as glass, marble appearing plaster. It's a winner!

More Views will be posted on this site soon, on our Venetian Plaster pages.
