Flat Bed Trolley


I was asked to paint a flat bed trolley for a client. He was going to use it as a coffee table and told me that I could paint anything I wanted on it. So after a bit of contemplation, I decided to paint the four seasons (with using Warren Kimble as my inspiration). I really like how he paints in a primitive way. What was delivered to me was very dirty and ruff. I took this picture after cleaning it and using a belt sander on it to smooth it for painting as much as possible.
Here is the finished project of the four seasons.



The Front I painted a checkerboard and used hammered spray paint for the metal parts.

Other side read, "And A Time To Every Purpose Under The Heaven"

The side reads, "To Every Thing, There Is A Season"
