Painted Pedistal Table With Trompe L'Oeil Necklace & Faux Marble
A quartz bead necklace with brass man in the moon pendant is painted in Trompe L'oeil style on this small vintage pedestal table which is completely repainted with acrylics so that the top looks like real marble. Even the underside is painted as faux marble to complete the illusion. The three leg pedestal is painted black with gold accents. It is sealed with polyurethane. The table is 24" tall and the top is 18" across. Painting something similar starts @ $300 plus shipping and handling. As always, I can paint on your own piece of furniture if desired. Personalized items such as these are at the direction of the client. Every piece I do is hand painted and unique.

Painted Furniture by Sue
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.
