Thyme to paint with Lynne Andrews

I recently joined 

the

 Cape Cod Mayflower Decorative Artists Chapter

Lynne Andrews

recently came to teach

HARE'S Trouble

to

 our group

We could use a surface of our choice for the project

I chose this wood basket.

I have it base coated with the line drawing transferred.

Everyone is hard at work on their projects!

This is my project as I was working on it.

Lynne is not only a great teacher but she is also fun to paint with!

I did not complete my project in class!

I brought it home to complete it.

The lettering 

on 

Lynne's projects

 is 

always beautiful

but

time consuming!

After the lettering was complete 

I gave it several light sprays 

of 

Krylon Workable Fixative.

The "fixative" will set your lettering

 before you varnish 

and 

prevent any smearing!

I applied several coats

 of 

Dura Clear Matte Varnish

to my piece.

This is the finished top to my basket.

The saying on the top of the basket reads:

"Where is HEAVEN? Is it not just a friendly garden plot, walled in stone and roofed with sun, where the days pass one by one, Surely God is in this place, for I have seen Him : face to face. "

This is a side view of the basket.

Here my finished basket. 

This was a fun SpRiNg Thyme project to paint!

Happy Painting !

Lynn
