Doll Rocker with butterflies in Princess colors

September 28, 2013 Sue Banks Leave a comment

This little doll rocker is only 19 inches tall and 9 inches across the back. I painted it in what I think of as princess colors; bright pinks, purples and blues with gold highlights. The seat and the seat back are painted with pretty, stylized butterflies and gold scrolls that match the little cushion which I made from my inspiration quilt fabric. The cushion can be tied on the seat or up against the spindles if desired. See how cute the chair looks with a little handmade doll seated on it? You can get a sense of the size of the rocker in the photo which shows it up against an easy chair.

It is for sale @ $60 which includes shipping and handling. If you are interested in possibly purchasing of this piece or you want to know more about this piece Send me an email or leave a comment.

Light house children’s chair

September 25, 2013 Sue Banks Leave a comment

This little child’s chair is painted as if it were a mural. The chair belonged to the client who gave me free reign to do whatever I wanted and this was the result. The beach scene wraps around all surfaces of the chair. The light house is a famous one, I am sure you recognize it. The model for the hyper-realistic copper sand pail was a miniature pail that I stuck into rice to capture the look I wanted. The seagulls were taken from photos a friend took at the beach. The sand castle which I painted on one of the sides was a particularly difficult challenge.

This little vintage table and chairs were painted in bright colors with a realist painting of one of the famous locomotives that met at the ‘golden spike’ when the Transcontinental Railroad was completed.

Delphinium Chair with Hand Caned Seat

Delphiniums painted larger than life on a vintage chair.

Larger than life lavender Delphiniums grace the backrest of this vintage chair. The flowers are hand painted in acrylic paint in a hyper-realistic style with a touch of soft focus. I really like the effect and I hope you do too. The chair itself is done in soothing blues, purples and greens. The darkest color is very deep purple. On the back side I painted a Silver Studded Blue butterfly. I also hand caned the seat. It turns out this sturdy chair might be pretty old as I found that the caning holes were clearly hand drilled. They were irregular in size, placement, and spacing, making this quite a challenge for a first time caner! I have included an image of the rescue chair as it first came to me! Look what a little paint and love did to it! If you are interested in possibly purchasing something similar to this piece please Send me an email or leave a comment.
