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 .
Thanks,

Painting Two in Nautical Series - Hand painted Chairs

I have finished the second painting for another chair in my nautical series. I have the same whitewash on the rest of the chair and an acrylic painting of a red skiff on the beach. These chairs are $250. each.

I also have a pair of stools with seashells painted on the top. These stools can be used as small tables too. They are solid wood and very sturdy. I have a scallop shell design and a starfish design. These are selling at 125. each.

Please email (pj@pjcookartist.com) for more information or to order any of the hand painted chairs.

Handpainted Decorative Chair - 1st Design For Nautical Series

I am working on a series of 4 nautical scenes for my hand painted decorative chairs. This first chair is of the Saybrook Breakwater Light with two sailboats, catboats to be specific. This lighthouse is popular in the state of Connecticut and is offered as a license plate Save the Sound.

I have settled on a whitewash color for the chairs. It has a white wood grain effect that looks very beachy. I have used acrylic paint for the painting because it is very durable. Once I finish a chair I apply a coat of clear protective finish. After that the chair can be sat in! Yes, these chairs can be used everyday if you so desire. I have used this same paint for other projects and they have lasted for years, some are even outside!

I have this chair for sale at The Lyme Tree Women's Exchange in Old Lyme Center (next to Subway). You will find it in the window.

Check back for updates on the next decorative chair in this nautical theme series.
