Painting of Sandpiper Birds Running On the Beach - First Step In Painting A Seascape On a Sofa Table

Painting of Sandpiper Birds Running On the Beach - The first step in painting on a wood sofa table is to layout the drawing on the table. I started the drawing in pencil on the table top. When I was satisfied with the composition I painted a thin layer of paint on the table using the pencil sketch as a guide. I am painting over the textured surface on the table and I have decided to leave that texture under my painting.  I'm using acrylic paints because they are durable and they dry quickly. The painting will be a vignette on the table top so I will fade the edges of the painting into the original white textured background. The size of the table is 16" by 44" long with a height of 29 inches. I will describe the next step in painting of sandpiper birds on the beach in my next post in a couple days so check back to follow along.

Seascape On Table - Acrylic Painting On Wood Table

This is a project that I have recently finished painting of a seascape on a solid wood table. This was a special order for a customer of a Westbrook, Connecticut beach. I added the two Adirondack chairs to the painting. The occasional table is 22" x 18" and is sure to be a conversation piece. Imagine having a painting on a table of your favorite beach or place and having your guests recognize the scene.

I have a durable finish over the painting that will last like any piece of wood furniture. The legs have my whitewashed wood grain painted on that has a very realistic look.

Contact me through my website at pjcookartist.com for more information on having your own favorite scene painted.

Hand Painted Table with White Lily

This is my latest hand painted table, it is a more modern design than the beach scenes. I have painted many lily flowers in all colors. I like this white lily with the blue shadows wrapping over the table edge. This is a natural birch wood table with an original acrylic painting of a lily flower. Protective glossy finish over the original painting for durability. Table top is 15" diameter with a height of 18". The painting flows over onto the edge of the table top for a 3 dimensional effect, all hand painted! Can be shipped, email or call for pricing: pj@pjcookartist.com or 860-539-4457.

My next project will be two acrylic paintings, one of a sunflower and the other a pineapple. I am still working on the seascape oil painting and should have my next step done soon. So check back for my post on painting the ocean wave.
Thanks, PJ

Handpainted Decorative Bar Stools

I have been painting 2 bar stools that would look great in a nautical or beach decor setting. The photos shown here are from my work table as the tops were drying. On the top surface of the first bar stool is a painting of 2 adirondack chairs on a dock overlooking the water. The bar stool legs are painted to look like driftwood with a whitewash wood grain effect. I have been using acrylic paint for the scene because it is so durable. I applied a thick clear finish on the top surface of the stool so it is extremely durable and it looks great with the thick glossy finish.

My painting on the second bar stool is of a beach path with roses. The sky and sea are a bright pretty blue. There is an inviting beach chair on the beach.

These sturdy wood stools are 30" tall and would make a great addition to any beach cottage decor. I will be painting more bar stools with new scenes to go with these first two. Please contact me for more info on the bar stools or for purchasing information .
