Painted the stair risers!

The last two days work: painted the second floor stair case risers for my daughter's town home.

A few more things for the MARKETPLACE 2012

THE APPLES WERE JUST PLAIN GLASS.  BOUGHT THE SPICE RACK AT 'HABITAT'--WAS JUST PLAIN WOOD.  ABOUT TO TACKLE MY FIRST  CHANDELIER!

More painting for the MARKETPLACE 2012

Still having fun painting old 'castaways' from my friends--the pots are mine and were just sitting in the garage empty and begging to be painted.  I guess the red/black one is for the 'DAWGS'!!!

The compote was a really old green frosted glass color with antique brass base.  I designed and painted it to fill with glass balls at Christmas time.

More 'castaways'...

More 'castaways' from a friend who bought a furnished house and I have greatly benefited from their 'cast aways'.  I love taking these old home decor items and giving them the 'A KAYREN SPAIN Design' touch.  First I prepare the old surfaces to accept the new paint.  Then I paint the item a solid color--either black or white--then out comes my sketch pad and I begin to create the design and colors that I will use.  The 'blank slate' is when I can begin to see a new design.  The object then has to be measured and gridded.  Then the real fun begins...the painting...this is the part I love the most.  I have discovered that there is NOTHING I can't paint...the latest is old oil lamps...who would have thought!!

At the mountain painting for my show at the MARKETPLACE 2012. My neighbors gave me these items that they were discarding and I have given them a new identity--using acrylic enamel paints. So much fun!
