There will be a button, bottom left to enlarge..

It's just about done.. except for some shading and maybe some balance.. Hey, it's therapy... ;)

I needed this... Now I"m thinking about Bamboo..

[grannie9]

Sorry, I'm tired.. The button is on the bottom right.. ;-/

[Kathleen]

omg Gran, it's spectacular. Did you do this freehand??

[grannie9]

Yes Kath.. It's my first time at trying this style of Faux Painting.. I actually didn't think I'd ever finish it.. but I got the inspiration today..

I'm so glad it's almost done, now I can go on to more stuff.. I couldn't until I finished this.. I was tempted to cover it with something..but I hated to give up.. ;)

[Kathleen]

I am in awe. It's absolutely gorgeous. You are a woman of many talents, Gran. ;-)

[grannie9]

Ahhh.. but there is only one that I ever made a quarter or two with.. ;)

Hopefully that was just a beginning.. to break myself in for bigger and better things.. It was a fear stealer.. yanowhatimean?

If my body could just keep up with my mind..

[grannie9]

I just realized that I have to go in and fix some flowers..the Hydrangeas.. I painted them all wrong.. I knew they were too easy.. lol

Oh well.. I'll be playing with it for days..

[Kathleen]

I look forward to seeing your future projects, Gran. You should open a gallery. Maybe in a corner of the barn...

[grannie9]

Not on your life.. I'm not good enough for one thing.. and it's only fun when it's not work.. ;)

My daughter Dyan just did her son's whole bedroom. All four walls from floor to ceiling. I'm dying to get pics of it.. The room goes from morning to night. She even put his dog on the wall..

It's fun.. try it..and if you don't dare free hand, buy some stencils.. I found a great stencil outlet on the internet this morning.. It's what gave me my inspiration to get moving again..

[Kathleen]

My only experience with stencils includes Glass Wax at Christmas time when I was a kid..lol. I'll leave artistic endeavors to the professionals...some things shouldn't be tried at home. ;-)

[grannie9]

ahhh.. I could get you over the fear of that in no time..

I used to love those glasswax stencils..

That reminds me.. I have to get some etched stencils for my sliding doors. I'm tired of walking into them..

[Kathleen]

I could get you over the fear of that in no time..

You probably could, Gran. I'm all thumbs and wouldn't know where to start on my own. Look out, world. ;-)

[null and void]

Hmmmmm, two hours and twenty-eight minutes to stuff your face...

[null and void]

That reminds me.. I have to get some etched stencils for my sliding doors. I'm tired of walking into them..

Get bullet hole decals...

[grannie9]

LOL LOL.. omg.. I didn't take thaaaat long.. I got involved in painting..

But.... if you like to take that long.. I can work on it.. ;)

[grannie9]

No, no.. you use a brush.. ;)

The thumbs come into it later.. Much later.. That's when you get reallly good..

[grannie9]

Oh damnit.. I just ordered them. That would have been a great idea..

Missed it by that much.. -

[grannie9]

OK..this is a night shot, so it's darker, but I think it's finished. Hooray...

[grannie9]

Loddy.. where are you? Are you ok, or are you taking a vaca?

[habs4ever]

Whatcha gonna paint on the toilet seat???

Maybe you could just paint a roast and tell Al his dinner is ready ;-)
