Hand painted Chalkboard for a Dutch Chocolatier

 This 8'x4' Chalkboard was created in my studio for  Pam and Jacques Holten's  Eureka, California retail store, Venlo Chocolates. Honoring Jacques hometown,Venlo, Netherlands ,we used Dutch motifs ,hand painted in shades of chocolate brown with a red and green  Dutch tulip motif.

The entire board is painted in chalk board paint.The Dutch children,flower and Venlo Chocolates can be used as a chalk board with white chalk.

As a youth  in the Netherlands,Jacques began his apprenticeship as a chocolatier. They create each chocolate (dark,milk and white)  by hand in a small factory right  behind their retail shop.
