Stain Added and Paintings Hung
Once upon a time I had
these hanging in my
my bedroom just so I
could get them up
off the floor and on the
wall somewhere!
A couple years ago I took them
to the local artist store and studio
but since they are going out
of business I brought them
back home and hung
them back in my
bedroom.
I painted this in 2009
on a unfinished cabinet
door for a showing I
was having at a local
gallery.
When I brought it home
from the Artist Studio the
other day I decided to
hang it in the living room.
The more I looked at it the
more I felt it was missing
something.
So I decided to stain the outside
area to see if it would
pop.....and it did!
I have a facebook friend that
was requesting that I make
one of these for her.
(ignore the tuna packs and the
phone and the knife....they are holding
the clothes pins till the glue dries).
I was on my fav site (PINTEREST)
today
and I saw this.
Isn't that beautiful?
So I decided to look up more
picnic tables and I found
some neat ones.
This one would be so cute
for a family with kids.
And for game
night.
Or the sun can shine
through.
But I love the one below.
Then I jumped to the fences.
LOVE IT.
Pretty.
Another pretty one.
Cute also.
Gotta love the
dragonfly!
The problem with seeing stuff like
this and being an artist I
want to paint everything!
Wonder what the neighbors
would think if I painted
the side of my house?
Thanks for stopping in,

Some folks would get uptight about the paintings but I think whatever you do on your own property is your own business besides you're actually making something beautiful. There will always be complainers and whiners. Staining the perimeter of the painted cabinet door added a frame to your artwork adding the purrfect touch. The picnic tables and privacy fence designs are awesome but I'd say these things would have to be done again or touched up being exposed to the elements, though.

The picnic tables and fences are fun to look at.
Wishing you a delightful day.
A house? What a canvas!
Thanks for showing the benches and inspiring me. Rick has two benches in bad need of painting. He'll never do it so I decided I must and now I have some jolly good ideas. (He should never turn me loose!)
Happy day!
Love the fences and picnic tables also.
