I took these photos recently. The weather here in central California has been warm and spring has finally arrived. Thanks for looking and happy St. Paddies Day!

Hand Painted Table Set March 4, 2007

Hi all

I thought I would upload one of my recent projects. This is a hand painted dining room table & chair set. This commission was for a table, 6 chairs with 4 matching bar stools. The client requested the colors. It was painted with alkyds. It has 2 primer coats, 3 base coats, art, slight antique glaze and 3 poly coats to protect.

Very time consuming!

Thanks for viewing and have a great week!
