Recycled furniture: Table

This design was created by masking off successive parts of the beechwood tabletop and painting it in different colours. I wasn't thinking of a particular motive, but I began to see an image:
 

Deserted place,

trees stretching toward the horizon.

Dust on the sidewalk,

dappled with sunlight.

Curtains drawn to block out the heat.

Branches yearning

for the cool of concrete.

This image reminds me of a still and brooding Sunday Afternoon, which I chose as the name for this table.

Beechwood, acrylic paint, varnish. 1999.
