Harbor Sea Coast
is a design by
Kim Hogue CDA
that I painted
on a small childs armoire
that was mine growing up
I painted my design on the door to the armoire
I had to adjust the design some to make it fit my surface
My surface measured
30" x 15"
I started out basecoating the surface, whale sign
and
lighthouse
Painting the lighthouse
and
adding the checks
working
on the
WHALE SIGN
I used an "artistic" license to add my town to the sign
which is
Barnstable
working on the sailboat
adding some shading to sail
and
a
STRIPE
to the sail!
Now a STAR!
I originally painted
BOSTON
on the sail as
Kim Hogue
did in her directions
BUT
I changed my mind and used an "artistic license"
and
painted
CAPE COD
instead!
Kim uses distressing sticks a lot in her designs
They are FUN to use!
They add so much dimension to your project!
Kim Hogue
is the
QUEEN of DETAIL!
She loves her embellishments!
I painted WOOD buttons for the wheels on the boat
painting the flag
FINISHED!
This piece was a LOT of work!
I love it!
But worth it!
