Thyme for Sam

Even Sam needs some down Thyme!!!!
here is another thrift store find that I have painted on
I used a John Sliney Design
called
Quality Time Sam
It can be found in his book titled
A Road To America's Past



It was hard to prevent the glare and
get a good picture
given the pieces rounded surface



John Sliney
teaches some interesting
painting techniques
in using his patterns.
I especially love his wash techniques
to achieve that old antique feeling.

Hugs,
Lynn

Memorial Day


these prim stars are about 32" tall
I have painted them
mustard, black and barn red



these prim stars that I have painted come in
small, medium and large

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."

This is a door crown

Maxine Thomas

and
challenging

Sam's face



I love the banner

Happy Painting!
