HAND PAINTED "TOILE RURAL SCENE" ON A CLAWFOOT BATHTUB

HAND PAINTED "TOILE RURAL SCENE" ON A CLAWFOOT BATHTUB

A few years back a client asked me to paint something on her clawfoot bathtub. 
Immediately I envisioned a "toile" rural scene painted on it because she loved French decor. 
I thought that would be unique. 
This is the scene I painted.
She left everything up to me and these are the colors I chose.  (approved, of course)
 The colors look so beautiful with her dark wood floors.
You guessed it!!  Me, painting the bathtub.
I primed the tub with a "bonding" primer, painted the artwork and sealed with two coats of clear sealer.
 
 Today I am back at her home working and love seeing it, again.  
It has held up really well.
My client is still very happy with it, too.
