It was a challenge to make the randomness of the stones both natural and artistically placed.\u00a0 Painting realistic stones takes a combination of technique, patience and old brushes that can be handled &#8216;roughly.&#8217; Doing the stripes that naturally occur in some stones is not easy, if done wrong the stripe would seem painted&#8217; on the outside.\u00a0\u00a0 The client requested &#8220;No pink or brown stones&#8221;, but the piece needed the hints of rust, yellow and green or else the all gray palette would have been too cold.\u00a0\u00a0 Of course there has to be a bug on the stones! A delicate Damselfly was perfect for what appears to be a scene from the water&#8217;s edge.\u00a0 Everyone who has seen this table points to a different stone as their favorite. Which one is your favorite?\u00a0\u00a0 I painted the legs in four alternating shades of gray.\u00a0 When this table was originally brought to me it was painted an ugly bright yellow, what a transformation!<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to know more about this piece? <a href=\"mailto:sue@paintedfurniturebysue.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Send me an email<\/a> or leave a comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vintage vanity table painted with Trompe L&#8217;oeil stones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[31,11],"tags":[130,133,45,49,47,88],"class_list":["post-371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-commisioned-work","category-table","tag-favorites","tag-headerscreen","tag-hyper-realism","tag-rocks","tag-stones","tag-trompe-loeil"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/paintedfurniturebysue.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/Stone-Vanity-Table-63.jpg?fit=640%2C480","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3UDxD-5Z","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/paintedfurniturebysue.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/paintedfurniturebysue.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/paintedfurniturebysue.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/paintedfurniturebysue.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/paintedfurniturebysue.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=371"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/paintedfurniturebysue.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4071,"href":"http:\/\/paintedfurniturebysue.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371\/revisions\/4071"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/paintedfurniturebysue.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/paintedfurniturebysue.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/paintedfurniturebysue.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/paintedfurniturebysue.com\/gallery\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
