Description
This is one of my paintings I did some time ago called tole painting as a member of the Society of Decorative Painters. For this piece I used acrylic paint but not craft grade but fine art grade which gave it more depth. I have done some digital painting as well to emphasize some of the stroke work I felt the piece needed in the photograph.

Tole painting is the folk art of decorative painting on tin and wooden utensils, objects and furniture but many do designs on canvas, watercolor paper and other surfaces. Typical metal objects include utensils, coffee pots, and similar household items. Wooden objects include tables, chairs, and chests, including hope chests, toyboxes and jewelry boxes.
.....
The practice began in 18th century New England, and was also extensively carried on among German immigrants in Pennsylvania. A separate, related tradition occurs among Scandinavian countries and immigrants, including Norwegians, Danes and Swedes. German tole painting may concentrate more on metal and tin objects, while Scandinavian may concentrate more on wooden objects and furniture. Patterns in the two traditions vary slightly as well.
.....
Tole painting is now a worldwide phenomenon, largely due to the international expansion of the now 41 year old Society of Decorative Painters.
