Pot Painting

Love the way you've painted your pots Donnah, they look great... :o)

I love the flowers on your pots and watering cans Donnah
very pretty and eye-catching :-))

Thank you Helen and Franny

Donnah your rabbit is gorgeous and looks so happy sitting there, lol.
Your pots are really good and you are obviously influenced by all the lovely ones on the canal barges, wish I could paint like that, I have to make do with the weathered look...

I like the cream ones best. What an artistic lot you are,Goyers.

Are all your painted pots terracotta Donnah? Have you managed to paint any plastic ones? Do you need to prime them with anything? This would be a good way for me to spruce up some of my friends pots (who's on a limited income) Shes had some of her pots for years and they could do with a bit of a lift - Wont be as artistic as yours though.

Well done Donnah.
Adding the blog to GoYpedia :o)

Wow Donnah, they're lovely - did the rabbit help? :-))

Love your pots Donnah - and your greenhouse.

Brilliant Donnah. I love them :o)

Hiyah..What an imaginative creative talent you have donnah, they all look Amazing, Clever, Clever you. Love your Greenhouse, looks a great place to work in..

I agree with everyone! :)))

These are superb!! Wish I could paint :(

Very nice, almost too good for putting plants in, love the watering cans.

I have been painting plastic ones as well Poppt lover. I give all the pots a couple of under coats with maysenry paint. I have never done this sort of painting before I have been watching vidios on u tube and copying what they do. Its a great way to learn because you can stop the vidio and copy what they are doing. Its called one stoke painting and i sit in front of the computer with paints and paper and practise till I feel confident with what I am doing ,then I try it out on a pot. At the moment I am painting an old wheel barrow up.

Donnah...You are a talented lady...beautiful pots...and i love your greenhouse...:>)

Well you completely transformed that old boiler! It looks great. Show us some more once theyve gone where you want them and planted them up??? Be great to see. I can think of a few things in my garden that would benefit from a bit of paint!

Donna this is fantastic make over and beautiful.

Great idea .

I have a lovely shape large plastic pot but its looking faded and tatted so .

Would love to try this and got a stone rabbit planter and the paint is coming off .

It was a gift 15yrs ago.

What a great idea Donnah, I have some masonry paint in my garage, you have inspired me, not sure I could get them looking as good as yours though !
Well done !

Those floral pots are most impressive Donnah,time very much well spent. Husband has just set up the base for our first greenhouse. Hope mine looks as productive as yours by the end of the year.

Wow, I love the pots, Donnah, I think you have real talent and patience. My favourite is the tall dark red pot, what a lovely centre piece that would make.

nice blog, great creativity

A fab idea - I love the pots and watering cans - you are a real talented lady!!

Lovely pots and a natural talent.What paint do you use after the masonry paint,..acrylic ? Do you varnish for protection..yacht varnish or acrylic varnish ?

Love these pots I have lots of plastic pots, Do you have to repaint every year or put them away for the winter ?

I use masonary paint to start with as a base then any paint for the base colour the pattern is painted in acrylic and then to finish I use a clear varnish, And I do put them away for the winter

Only just found this blog. Donnah they look amazing. One stroke painting is a brilliant technique. I had a go at it several years ago (just on paper). We brought a video set (shows how long ago it was lol) of instructions. Never crossed my mind to try it on pots though. Thanks for the inspiration, wil have to have a go on a big old plastic pot we've got.

Hi Donnah i just asked about the pots on new blog haha, i must have missed this sorry, you are very talented, do you doa rt at all,, these are very profesional indeed, love them :O)))
