Voilá

Several years ago I found a painting of red geraniums on a framed, window screen in a thrift store. I thought it was a clever idea and it would look good on our front porch, so I bought it. It has hung on our front porch many times over several summers, and it started to lose its pizazz.  

Our front porch, June 2024.

Instead of throwing it out I decided to try touching it up myself, with my acrylic paints.

My messy work area in the garage.

I put on an old t-shirt, squeezed paint onto a paint palette, and did my best. I filled in the reds, and mixed red and yellow paint for orange, and blue and yellow for green, and repainted the pot and added a bit of color here, and a bit there. It was a fun, creative endeavor! 

My rejuvenated geranium painting.

And I think it turned out very well. The painting has found new life and is hanging on my front porch once again.

    1. I thought you’d remember when we bought this.
      I have always enjoyed it…even more now. 😉
