Fly away II

Fly away II is another in the Hardi bord series.

I am really enjoying painting them and looking forward to offering them up as outdoor art.

This background though!

The afternoon I was doing this major pour, my husband decided to come and see what was happening in the studio. 

I had several pieces going at once,stacking some higher so they pour onto the next level of pieces.

I am trying to be a good steward of my money that God gives to me for my use.

Anyway, there was a couple of them that managed to get drops of 

paint on them instead of the flow I was trying to achieve.

In comes the mister, and he decides the drops look like turtles, 

especially after he manipulates the paint.

I did not discover this until a couple of hours later and was kind of upset with him.

Don't they look cute?

I'm not going for cute here honey.

Please don't do it again.

(I'm sure he will just to be funny. It's a good thing I love him!)

Anyway, I decided to add a larger turtle on top, making the smaller ones 

look like they're deep in the water.

The person that purchases this one, gets a collaborative piece!

We also took apart the submarine today, it hurt not being able to save parts of it, 

but I'm running out of room in storage!

She Sells Sea Shells

      This week has been interesting to say the least! Frantic sewing, set designs for church (to be constructed next week), furniture re-design and painting! These two beautiful shells are part of the collection that will be with a table I am donating to Habitat for Humanity and their fundraiser in September at Oak Hollow Farm. They go with a table that has shells painted on it as well.
       These paintings are actually created on wooden cigar boxes! We have a local cigar shop here in Fairhope named Bouch's that gets a lot of empty boxes. Eventually, they have a sale and get rid of a few. I had noticed them a couple of weeks back out front, stacked high. Some of them are quite beautiful on their own, but I sanded these, removed the labels, and gave them a new coat of paint. The next day, I painted the shells on them. There are a total of six to go with the table and some of them have games inside them for entertainment at the house in which the set will hopefully find a home. I hope that they get a good price at the auction. My husband and daughter in law love them and think I should do more for sale at my upcoming shows. We shall see..........
       In the meantime, there's those furniture pieces we are re-habbing for the auction as well.
More on that later!
