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!
