Whimsical Pieces by MAR
Watch out! I paint anything that stands still! I'm a recently retired speech/language pathologist who paints everything that gets in her path!
I love mid-century modern, which inspires many of my painted pieces.

I had so much fun creating this piece. It required a number of skills including: frame repair, gilding the frame, “dressing” the cat family, and assembling the whole shebang. It is available for purchase in Booth MAR at Essex Saybrook Antiques Village in Old Saybrook.

The crab table! Definitely a favorite. You have to see to appreciate the beach vibe - blue water, sand, crabs, dash of glitter and a little gold. Just delivered this charming table to Mine in Mystic.
