For the past few days, I've been painting wooden things in my every spare moment. I'm using latex enamel paints because I think they're more durable, but it's glossy paint, and it's hard to work with. Plus, I only have primary colors, so I'm having to do some mixing, and that's extra-messy work. PLUS, it's been raining, and the paint doesn't want to dry.
This week, I painted two more of the original large scarecrow/snowman reversible signs. This afternoon, there was one more big, blank circle left to paint. I thought I'd puke if I had to paint another scarecrow/snowman. Time for something different. I spray-painted the circle orange on both sides, and then finger-painted a pumpkin on it with the yellow and brown latex enamel.
It's not finished yet. I'm going to work on the shading a little more, and add a leaf and some curli-ques. But I like where it's going. Putting down the brush and doing the shading with my fingers was kind of liberating!
