The background in this painting is an antique children's tray.  I purchased it recently at an area flea market.
The tray is similar to another tray used in a previous painting. This trompe-loeil is another in the "3-D meets 2-D" series.

Sold    8 by 8.5 inches,   Acrylic on acid free illustration board
This is another painting in the "3-D meets 2-D series".  The background is actually a toy metal tray from a children's play set from the 1950's.  I positioned the Fisher Price figure in front of the tray as I painted the still life.

Watch Out for Spring

Sold        8 by 9 inches,            Acrylic on acid free illustration board
This is an antique toy tray I found at a local antique store recently.  I liked the rust and tarnish visible on the tray.  I added those to the painting. It makes for a more interesting piece.  The toy figure standing in front of the tray producing a 3-D affect also adds to the interest.
