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.

Stones and Stripes Victorian Table
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???
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!
Rocks and Stones Box
I just love painting rocks! This 12″ X 8″ X 3″ box has faux painted marble sides and bottom. Sorry but this gem was sold as soon as I put it in a show. I’d love to paint another if you want one!
