Trompe L'Oeil Dog Leash Painted On Side Table .
This table called " After A Walk with the Dog" was done for a canine lover. I painted the tromple l'oeil items in acrylics on this little table without changing the original red surface. The client sent me a photo of the kind leash she used and I found a real metal metal fastener to work from. I also embellished it with some pretty stones on the top and an old tennis ball with a little leaf on the lower shelf. Personalized items such as these are at the direction of the client. I can use your table or one I procure for you which will of course affect the cost.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am Sue Banks, a self-taught artist who works in craft acrylics, usually on surfaces that do not require framing, such as furniture, household objects, and stones. I work on anything from vintage pieces to unfinished new items. Many of the projects shown here are examples of past work. Each project is always unique, and most are custom ordered. I work on items supplied by the client or on items procured in conjunction with a client’s request. I specialize in re-purposing items by decorating them with acrylic paint in hyper-realism and Trompe L'oeil style. I paint a very wide range of subject matter from flowers to stones to animals and insects to sneakers to teacups. My work is intensely colored, detail oriented and joyful. I work from actual objects and photos which are often supplied by the client, to create works to a client’s specifications. Working from reality is most effective for trompe l’oeil designs.
