Living In Color

A friend handed off this wooden goose cut-out.  It either came from a garage sale or garbage pick.  She's a lot like me in that respect, so it's not unusual for her to offer her seconds to me when she no longer wants them.  This is the back side.  It's obvious the piece needed to be repainted and I had a plan for it!


We needed a sign for our RV spot so that fellow campers know who we are.  This is a typical practice -- even transients put out signs to show who they are and where they come from.

I'm a wild color kind of girl, so something bold was in order.  It turned out very nicely.  Once the paint was dry, it got a couple of coats of polycrylic.  The sign is staked out on the rear left side of our RV rather than in front.  Most of the time we hang out either on our pad or below, in back, at our fire pit.  Since many folks let their male dogs lift their leg on any vertical surface, I've learned not to place anything I value up front.  Yeah, people suck.

This is another painting project in progress.  The tall chair was a hold-over from my childhood.  I'm painting it funky and wild for the same little girl I did the small white flower chair.  Here it is about 2/3 of the way through.  I've since completed the painting and detailing but need to now clear coat it.  Once it's done, there will be a post.

Even though I am color-blind, I like wild bold colors. I figure if you use every color, then no color is wrong!
