My dear friend Dede designed a series of bird houses
and her very handy and skilled husband made them for her.
She gave me two of them as a gift.
The one featured here was unfinished.
It was a "blank canvas" for me to play with.
I began by taking off the hardware and taping off the roof.
I decided to go with a light warm neutral base
(because it's what I had the most of).
My design theme prior to starting was rustic
Mexican folk art.
I was inspired by my recent trips to
Tucson and Albuquerque.
I may work a little more on the back. I was in a
hurry to finish up. Actually, I wanted my kitchen
table back after 4 days of having it covered with
newspaper and paint supplies.
Happy Holiday and Happy Creating!
