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!!
