Water Lily Pond Bench

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

This vintage all wood bench is painted with a view of a Water Lily pond with unusual red, pink and yellow pads.  A large fuchsia flower jumps off the surface with intense realism.  I love the way the light hits the water at the top of the scene and how you can look into the murkiness of foliage below the water.  Of course there is a frog!!  I captured these botanical beauties at the Minneapolis Zoo a few years ago.  I painted the graceful legs of the bench in four shades of green that darken as they descend, with gold and copper colored highlights.    The seat  is 20 1/2″ X 14″ and  is 16″ off the floor.  The handles add an additional 3″. This piece has sold.   Please contact me if you are interested in ordering something similar this table.
