This pair of very large Adirondack chairs was a bit intimidating at first, but in the end, turned out wonderful. Once they were base painted for me, the decoration moved quickly. The varieties of flowers include Sunflowers, Daisies, Cosmos and Zinnias. The recipient of this project is a bee keeper, thus the numerous bees on the chair with the yellow flowers. Yes they are both the same shade of sky blue in reality.

Blue Roses Wedding Platter
This Commission was a tribute to a couple’s wedding and her bouquet. Blue roses do not bloom naturally so that was quite a challenge.
Cards and Dice Trompe L’oeil Box
Yes the playing cards are all paint! This was the perfect motif for my Trompe l’oiel skills. I had a grand old time painting them on the top of this small box which was commissioned as a gift for a lover of games and wine. I put Lady bugs on the back for luck!
Flower Power Step Stool
This step stool was designed to last well beyond Risa’s baby years. It was a pleasure to paint Irises, Tulips, Lilies, Roses, Rose of Sharon, Cosmos, Purple Cone Flower and Poppies! The navy blue background made everything pop! I painted three bugs, can you find them all? The stool came unassembled which made it easier to paint and photograph.
