The several feet of snow February provided
is slowly melting. The "normal average high
temperature" is up to 50 degrees ........ and it
is still cold!
Today the doors got some of their finish color ....Painting
while wearing gloves is a new experience ...
but working with big brushes it is no problem. And
after a couple hours of painting my hands are not
quite frozen and clean ! Another three or four coats and
they will be ready for hardware and the clear top coat.
What great fun it is working on such a large piece.......
the smallest brush I am using is a 1 1/2" sash brush I
bought at Harbor Freight for $1.79. There is a real
difference when you can buy your tools and supplies at
the hardware store and avoid the "art supply" ..... about
the only thing I buy at the art/craft stores is acrylic paints.
Most of the artist's I know around here use the weekly
40% off coupon from the Sunday paper to buy pricey oils
and acrylics.
