Sunflower

I have talked about painting flowers down the fence in our backyard. Big project and I never got around to doing it.  I just picked out the flowers and talked about doing it.

When the doors on the shed got to the point that they badly needing replacing, I thought here is my chance to paint something- on a smaller scale.

Mike had the doors made in a weekend.
It took me a little longer to paint them.
I know I was going to paint a sunflower.
Step 1 - Spray paint the background. green outside and a accent black inside the center.

 Step 2 - add brown to the center and first layer of petals

 step 3 - add accents to the center of 1st layer of petals and layer another row of petals.
I took a look from far away and decided it needed much more color. It looked way different close up.

 I finally told Mike that I was done with trying to make it any better. Put this bad boy up so I will leave it alone.

 TaaDaa. The shed has new doors. And the center on the flower actually lined up.

The neighbor loves it. Turns out sunflowers are her favorite flower.
