Summer Cabinet by Shirley Marie Dees
 
This artwork illustrates the potential for refinishing the surface of a typical dark-stained wood cabinet from the 70's. Colors of paint used in this composition were combinations of pink, green, and white, with gold and brown tones provided by the staining and wood-burning steps in the process. Colors were chosen to coordinate with the owner's kitchen, and continued on the wooden knobs that were wood-burned and painted for the other cabinets in the room. Images used include Lady Guinevere, King Arthur, and Merlin taken from Aubrey Beardsley's drawings originally for Sir Thomas Malory's book, 'Morte D'Arthur', along with Art Nouveau designs and a variety of flora and fauna. Also in this kitchen is a set of coordinating cabinet doors with a winter theme (see Winter Cabinet). There is no text on this artwork.
