tv tray

I've been hard at work sketching out my show. I've just gotten to finish my first piece for the show, but a preview won't be available any time soon. I did take the time to work on a commission for a friend of mine. She had an old tv tray that she wanted me to paint on. I have to admit that when I first saw the tray, I was pretty intimidated. It had an existing diamond pattern that she wanted to show through a bit. Working with those instructions, I brought out my acrylic paints (which I don't get a chance to use often) and went for it. This is what happened.
