I was concerned when I was given 16 small stones and asked to paint them in a grid, on a white (cream) background, on a square canvas (14″ X 14″). In the end, I was delighted! I love this piece. The drama of the individual stones really works. Yes, I did enlarge each stone greatly, but I kept them in their original proportions to each other. I chose to paint minimal but essential shadows.
This small wood box is painted in fluid acrylics in the “Fool the Eye” style of Trompe L’Oeil. Yes it is all paint: The three cards and the marble (inside and out) are all part of the illusion. It is 6″ X 4″ X 2″ , $80 plus shipping.
A single Tiger Lily against an intense blue sky just pops off the canvas! This small square, unframed canvas is painted in fluid acrylics in hyper-realism style. My signature bug is a Ladybug crawling on a stem. The Canvas is 6″ X 6″ X 1.5″ and is ready for hanging with a hook on the back. It is priced at $80 including shipping and handling in the USA. If you are interested in purchasing a custom order of a different flower or motif, please contact me through this site.
This charming Victorian table was brought to me by a client along with at least 150 of his own stones to serve as models. I painted about 2/3 of them and also included some from my own collection. He wanted only the table top painted and asked that the remainder of the table be left untouched. It makes me so happy to be painting stones! He was thrilled with the results. Of course there is a bug nestled in among the stones. Can you find it???
