View From Bergen County

Welcome to Skip's Painting. I began painting houses in northeast New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut in 1982. After moving back to my hometown of Rochelle Park, I became a member of the Bergen County Mastercraftsman Paint and Paper Association, where I met some of the most experienced and knowledgeable painters in the area. My specialty is interior painting and paper hanging, although I do set aside time in the Fall to do small exterior work, just to get out and enjoy the change of seasons. I am also an amateur portrait artist, writer, and musician, and have listed other sites at the bottom of this page where I have posted my artwork, short stories, and music. Skip Van Lenten


House Painting

There are two paints that I try to use exclusively on my jobs, Benjamin Moore, and Muralo. Muralo was one of the first to introduce acrylic formulas, which are a big improvement over latex, and Benjamin Moore's extensive choice of colors has recently been converted to acrylics as well. Acrylic paints provide a much harder surface that will not fade, and is advertised as being absolutely "scrubbable." For more information on acrylic paints, please click on the link for Housepainting.

My estimates are free, and if you have any questions about painting or paint products, call me at (201) 406-3933, or e-mail me at skipvanlenten@fastmail.net, and I will try to answer them for you.


Artwork and Portraits

I have an artistic streak that makes painting houses something more than just a job, and I don't mind helping out with color choices, coordinating rooms, or going through as many samples as it might take to get the right combination. It pays to make the right choice in the beginning, rather than living with something you don't like until it's time to paint again. As for my artwork, I enjoy doing pencil portraits, oil portraits, and paintings of wildlife. It's a nice way to relax, and you don't have to stand on a ladder to reach the canvas. My web address for portrait work is www.skipsportraits.com, and my other sites are listed below under "web links."
