The weekend before last, I finally started putting some art on the crazy fiberglass bird bath! I started by drawing on the composition with purple chalk - I had started with a title of "Canines'n Blooms" and a brief color rendering, but couldn't really figure it out until I was working full scale. Chalk is great, easy to erase.
I then went in with black paint and it suddenly started coming to life...
This is great fun, I know I don't look thrilled here...but I was! ; )
I've captured most of it on video so stay tuned for the high speed painting synapses! Do you like my bike seat laptop video tripod?
And the underside...which few will see, was going to do bones, then all leaves, but settled for the swirl...I think it's a good solution: Almost forgot to show you my rendering...inspired by my 'dog park debacle' series of paintings:
CaninesNblooms
Stay tuned for part 2: color!
