Pansy cabinet

August 13, 2015 Sue Banks Leave a comment

This cabinet is an oldie but a goodie. Pansies are growing out from behind the fence on the drawer and are cascading down the front doors. The client provided me with a new, unfinished piece and I kept it light and airy. I painted a couple of Trompe L’oeil blossoms on the top and of course there is a bee. I delivered this cabinet on 9/11/2001 where the television was running in the background: An indelible memory is associated with it for me.

Does this piece intrigue you enough to want me to paint something like it for you? Please contact me through this site.

Contemporary House Portrait

July 27, 2015 Sue Banks Leave a comment

This contemporary home has lots of interesting architectural details like multiple roof lines, a variety of ‘wings’, beautiful landscaping and charming garden ornaments. Do you see the antique bicycles and the stone dog? I worked with the client to select a view that said ‘Come on in for a visit!” It is painted in acrylics on a smooth surface 24″ X 12″ clay-board. Also see my painting of the rear view of this home in the post dated 09/14/2015.

Holiday Stocking with Robots

This Holiday stocking is for baby August. Isn’t he cute? Doing a robot theme was way more fun than I even imagined! This stocking is for the brother of the Dinosaur Stocking I posted over a year ago. Click below on the tag ‘dinosaur’ to see that set pf stockings. I think I this one fits very well with the rest of the family’s. Thanks to my youngest son for coming up with the concept!

Commisioned Work, New, Table

Game Table Insert

June 16, 2015 Sue Banks Leave a comment

A Monopoly game board is actually very pretty, and so is a Scrabble board! I painted both sides of a 22″ X 22″ piece of wood which was custom cut by the client to fit a table that originally came with a two sided insert of chess board/Backgammon designs . I simplified the two games as far as I could without affecting the play of the games. I added a little visual texture to the flat colors that are in the commercial designs, giving my version something special.
