Some Paintings I’ve Been Working On

 

Hi again everyone!  Two posts in one week… that’s a wow for me!

I just wanted to share with you some paintings I’ve been working on in the midst of our backyard makeover.

I try to get some creative time in when it’s raining or too hot outside to work.

I LOVE painting and creating… so here you go…

So enjoyed painting this gal and her guitar!

And… I always have to throw some Folk Flower Paintings in the mix!

This one is painted on one of those Shipping Crate Table Panels I’ve been holding on to for awhile now.

And last… but not least…

This painting (it’s a biggy) actually started out as something else… but after some frustration with it… I wiped the slate clean and painted this…

it is one of my FAVS this summer and I may do a series of them!

As you can tell… I’ve been in a colorful mood with my art here lately… and loving it!

I am always thinking about selling my paintings again… I’m in the process of trying to figure out where and when.

Thanks for stopping by… hope you enjoyed! 

 

 

Shabby Chippy Chair

See my Country Farm Shabby Chippy Chair?

It’s what I’ve been working on this week.

Found this baby at Goodwill for $3.99.

DON’T HAVE A BEFORE PIC… THIS IS AFTER STRIPPING.

It WAS  totally painted white BUT the paint was really gunky and chunky (multiple layers)…

so I have been stripping it.

Only to… yes…  repaint it white.

 

Have you ever stripped paint off of spindles??

It’s kinda hard!

Anyway… still working on it but making lots of progress.

It must have had some red paint and orange paint at one time… but it’s only in certain places… not all over.

It will definitely need Kilz.

What’s funny is that… I kind of like the way looks at this point.

 

My plan was to paint it white again…

but I kinda like this soft washed look it’s taking on with the chippy paint.

Is that crazy? 

(OK… don’t answer that!)

My instinct is to keep working with it to create an even more shabby chippy look.

What do you think I should do?

Just paint it,  leave it or try to make it look more worn and shabby? 

 

Thanks For Stoppin’ By!
