Not much time for painting this week because I have been hauling tableware, baking cakes, harvesting pineapples, making signs & menus,
lounging in the South Pacific
I also hung around Bloody Mary’s Bali Ha’i Bar
But!
I did have time to put together a summer flag for Memorial Day
I started with a rustic wooden palette/sign
Red, white & blue acrylic paint, and sand dollars
Look closely, the sand dollars are actually stars
Next some red stripes in a wavy stroke
The texture of this wood is so rough that straight stripes and solid color is impossible so I decided just to embrace that and make my flag intentionally look weathered
White stripes were added in between the red
This was a super quick project
The wooden flag is great for decorating the entry, heavy enough not to blow around
A festive patriotic welcome!
Have a wonderful and safe Memorial Day weekend!
