I hand painted several large bright pink Poppies and a bumble bee on this full size green and copper watering can. I sealed it with oil based polyurethane. Charming outside in the garden or inside the home!! $65 Price includes shipping within the United States.
These three trays are painted with three different and striking floral motifs. Deep purple tulips wave in the wind on one of them. Water lilies slick with water densely pack another tray. I painted the lilies with the goal of capturing the memory of dragging my hand, as a child, through the slippery carpets of saucer shaped leaves while on a canoe ride on a New Hampshire lake. The third tray is filled with delicately painted Hydrangeas. You may have noticed that this is a favorite flower of mine and I have done them in many styles over the years. Of course there is a bug on each tray!
This small side table is painted with a faux marble surface and trompe l’oeil jade beads that appear to have been casually dropped there. The necklace looks ready to scoop up and put on, doesn’t it? The key is in the shadows! The table has graceful legs with carved knees which I gilded gold. I included a photo here of the faux marble surface before I painted the beads. This now charming table was a rescue from a tag sale and it looked unsalvageable when I took it home. It had been painted with such thick black paint that the drips could almost be peeled off! I stripped it and sanded it. The broken trim on one side had been ridiculous attached with a hot glue gun! Needless to say I removed it, cleaned it up, molded a little missing length and reattached it so well that even I am not sure which side I fixed!
