PAINTING ARTWORK ON RUSTY OLD CORRUGATED ROOF TINS FOR RUTH
Ruth built a new home way out in the country.
She had me do several things for her new home and I really loved working for her. She had the most beautiful country acreage with flowers and butterflies everywhere.
She found some old rusted corrugated sheets of tin roofing and asked me to paint some colorful artwork on them so she could hang them from a great big tree down by the shed.
So, this is what I painted.
I worked on them in my backyard. The roof tins were so easy to paint and it was fun creating something bright and colorful for Ruth's beautiful garden.
I wasn't sure if she was going to hang them side by side. So just in case, I painted the yellow lantana kind of like it was one big patch of yellow.
To paint on these roof tins was Ruth's idea and such a unique one!!
She is a great decorator and I loved everything she did in her new home.
In her last home, she wanted me to paint her kitchen cabinets and I begged her to let me paint them red. She had touches of red in her living area close to the kitchen and I knew the (browny) red would look sooo good. She was reluctant at first and then absolutely LOVED her new red kitchen. She loved it so much that she painted the same shade of red in her large new country kitchen and it looked wonderful!!
Thank you for letting me do this awesome project for you, Ruth!
beautiful!

Thank you Isabelle! If I ever get to go back out to visit Ruth in the country, I'll be sure to take a picture. I'll try to find a picture of the first red kitchen I painted for her. It was a small kitchen and I painted the ceiling red, too and it was just wonderful!!
DeleteSo creative! I love seeing how others use the old to become new again.
ReplyDeleteIt was Ruth's idea and I had fun painting them.

DeleteHow pretty, Lynda and so perfect for a garden. Thank you for sharing at Share It One More Time. Cathy
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cathy! The colors looked so pretty from her kitchen window.
DeleteSo lovely! I really like the idea of a unique, beautiful quirky piece of art in the garden.
ReplyDeleteAnd, it was!! It looked really good amongst her trees and flowers.
DeleteHi Lynda absolutely love the panels! Can I ask please what paint did you use?
ReplyDeleteHi, I used craft paints like Americana, Ceramcoat, Folkart and Apple Barrel. Then, I sealed with two coats of a low sheen clear sealer. I sealed really well because they were going to be outside in the weather. Direct sun will probably fade your colors a little. There are so many new paints at the craft stores. Some for using outside. Thank you for your interest. Lynda
