Hand Painted Furniture
Rosemary hand paints wooden decor and furniture,
using new unpainted furniture and antiques.
Using tube acrylic, she hand paints original
designs using beautiful clear colors. She gives
some items a Victorian style by adding
embellishments of ribbons, vines and lace.
Trunks, serving trays and benches are hand
crafted of white pine by a Nebraskan artisan.
Wood pieces are sealed and hand painted in
Rosemary's country studio. Some of the
antiques are stripped of old paint, sanded,
given several coats of paint and sealer, and
then the seats are painted with a design.
Embellishments are added to
the spindles and leg rails.
Rosemary uses designs of
fruit, vegetables, florals and
many scenes with sunflowers
or poppies and other chosen
florals along with verses. Some
of the serving trays have hand
painted tile inserts while others
are painted directly on the
wooden surface of the tray.
Rosemary has painted: a jam
cupboard, several trunks, a
3-piece bedroom suite, lamp tables, coffee tables, doll furniture,
chests of drawers, murals on walls and wall accents, writings
and many other items.
If you look closely Rosemary's designs, you will discover little
bits and pieces of her reflected in her work. Many of the designs
say very softly that Rosemary is a supporter of the Victorian era. Rosemary's home is full of Victorian hand painted treasures and that is also some of what inspires her.
