This was a very unusual table! The clients arrived with both the table and a real dog, asking me to transform their table to look like their Visla breed dog. In addition to changing the solid black sculpted base into the golden brown hues of their dog, I also painted the top and the base to look like rich, black marble. Of course the undersides are also painted like marble to support the illusion that it is real stone! (I’ve included a photo of what the table arrived looking like).
Here are a couple of my Magnolia pieces. The one with the blue background and butterfly is a commission painted on wood. The one with the black background is painted on a 6″ X 6″ canvas and is available for purchase ($85 plus shipping).
This commission was a real fun challenge! Painting her involved combining my fish paintings with my dragon work as well as with the human figure and portrait work which I originally started out with! Such fun!
This charming Victorian table was brought to me by a client along with at least 150 of his own stones to serve as models. I painted about 2/3 of them and also included some from my own collection. He wanted only the table top painted and asked that the remainder of the table be left untouched. It makes me so happy to be painting stones! He was thrilled with the results. Of course there is a bug nestled in among the stones. Can you find it???
