Football Table for a Teenager

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

This small side table was painted for a middle school young man with football aspirations.   I used his team colors for the uniform as well as  his own jersey number.   The background field is deliberately out of scale so it emphasizes the ideal football player as he ‘flies’ down the field.   On the lower shelf I painted, in the Trompe L’oeil style, a couple of index cards with diagrams of football plays because, well, fool the eye  is what I like to do!!   The table stands 20″ tall and the top is 14″ X 16″ .
