ACEO original Egg Chair Interior painting on wood veneer by Susan Thau

Description

This miniature work of original art is a combination of woodburning and acrylic painting by artist Susan Thau. The material used is double ply real oak wood veneer which is about the thickness of an average playing card. The painting is standard ACEO size of 3.5 by 2.5 inches

"The Egg Chair" was designed by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for a hotel in Copenhagen. Here it is shown in a mid-century modern, elegant room in my Interiors series.

Since most of my art consists of painting on driftwood and other types of wood (please see my e-bay store Beaksnbeacons) I was delighted to find this wood veneer that I could use for for my art cards. I can still woodburn my paintings, and still let the beauty of the wood grain show through as it does in my other work.

Susan Thau has been painting on driftwood gathered from the beaches near her Kent Island home since 1992. A completely self-taught artist, she has developed her own style which combines woodburning and painting with acrylics. Susan particularly enjoys working with driftwood because the great variety in the shape, size and surface texture of each piece of wood makes each painting a true one of a kind. Susan began her career by specializing in portraits of the lighthouses that serve as beacons along our country’s coastline, and is well known at the craft fairs in the midatlantic area. All of the lighthouses depicted are taken from extensive resource material on actual lighthouses, and the artist strives to make her paintings as accurate as possible. She has since expanded her body of work to include decoys, shorebirds, waterfowl, fish, and anything else that strikes her fancy.
