....So I took this blank canvas and prepared it....
(Sorry, no photos of the individual steps).

| From the Graphic Fairy |
This is one of the graphics I have been collecting....and is my inspiration for this painting.
...When it dried, I painted it with an antique medium.....
...and lightly sanded the canvas...
...and lightly sanded the canvas...
...then I painted light grey stripes across the canvas to look like boards...
...if you look close you can see the faint lines....
...And I painted this bicycle by looking at my inspiration picture....
....I added the lettering....
....and that's it.....
I now need to make a frame for it. But I couldn't wait to show it to you.
....and that's it.....
Tomorrow is going to be a great weather day here so I'll be out in the shop building something! Not sure what yet, but I plan on making the most of the day. One of these days I'll stop with the paintings, but for now it's a great way to deal with the weather issues around here. But I have to get back to building as I have a craft fair coming up soon. Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by.
