One of my clients just loves the butter yellow background with the pots of geraniums and ivy.  She asked me to paint this pair of jump standards with that theme for her.  I enjoyed this project and it was interesting winding the ivy all around the frames.  They are roughly 4' high mini versions of stall doors and were used as the decorative wings for jumps in an equestrian show jumping ring.  Standards are the supporting uprights for the cross bar of the jumps and may or may not include ornate features.  Let me know if you have run across any interesting standards, as there are many beautiful designs!
