Painted Tray
I painted this wooden tray in the last few weeks. I bought several wooden trays at the Houston Expo last year. Here is the link. Great week painting in Houston. More about that later.
Anyway I watched Heather Redick until I was embarrassed. Now I wish I had watched longer because I need to see it again. It looks so easy when she does it. Unfortunately she does not have any videos yet. Maybe she will do one soon.
I have been practicing and my stroke work is not bad but I still need lots more practice.
This tray will probably be for sale on Etsy in a day or so. I still need to put finish on the back and edges.
I am a decorative painter. I have been painting for many, many years and have gotten pretty good. There are many styles and I have tried them all. This is a learned art that takes practice and a desire.
We live in central Texas. I was born in Texas and have most of my life here with a few detours to Mississippi, Arkansas, and Florida. But I am right where I want to be.
We live on the airport. My husband Joe is the airport manager and teaches people to fly.
He is a man of many talents. We have been married over 20 years and each day is an present that opens differently each day.
We have 4 children. He had two and I had two when we married. We love each one completely and enjoy the unique individuals that they become. My youngest daughter has presented me with 3 grandsons. They are a true delight.
