Thyme to see the first design that I have painted for Painting With Friends. Its called Sunflower the Rooster !

At last ..Sunflower the Rooster

is done and made into an e-pattern!

 I painted this design

for

Painting with Friends.
You can find the link to purchase
my e-pattern

 HERE

Terrye French

sent me just a line drawing

I could add or subtact anything from the drawing
choose the colors and how to paint it
I had to write the directions
step by step for the painting
I also had to do all the line drawings for the pattern
with any changes I made

I also had to decide on a piece to paint the design on
so.......
this is what I started out with

I found this box at a thrift store.

It looks like maybe an old milk box?

I started to paint

taking notes as  I went along

for the directions

Sunflower the Rooster

coming to life!

Lots of

SUNFLOWERS!

This was really a fun pattern to paint!

so.....

What did it look like finished?

What did I come up with to use this box for?

here is the side of the box

the back of the box

with my signature

a close-up of

Sunflower the Rooster

this is what I put inside the box

some seed and this small scoop I found

at a thrift store

this is what I painted on the cover

this is the finished piece!

I am honored beyond words

to have my name on a pattern

with

Terrye French!

I look forward to painting more pieces

for

Painting With Friends

HAPPY PAINTING!

"Each day is a new canvas to paint upon.

Make sure your picture is full of life and happiness, 

and 

at the end of the day you don't look at it

 and 

wish you had painted something different."
