Painting garden furniture

12 comments


I have been busy painting in the garden. Furniture that is not landscape. I have painted the shed, two chairs, the hammock, the umbrella stand and the wooden barrow.
What next?

The paint colour is beautiful - so restful. Loved the chairs particularly - brilliant job!

All looking so nice. I love your wheelbarrow and the chairs look so very smart!

That was a job well worth doing. It all looks lovely.

Exactly what I thought Karen, you can imagine Linda standing with paintbrush raised, gazing round to see what can be painted next. They all look wonderful, the colour terrific - something heritage?

A very professional looking finish on all of the furniture, well done!

Amazing what fifty years as a professional artist can do.🥴
It is a lovely colour. A soft grey green. Very Swedish. Funny thing is, paint is really expensive in Sweden.
Barry is still having trouble with his foot so no ladders and heavy lifting. He is very good at suggesting what I should paint next. The windows sills at the back of the house and the bottom of the fence are but two.
The ceiling in the kitchen where the ceiling meets the boiler chimney need a bit of plastering. Did I tell you I did sculpture at art school too? I am very good at plastering.
In my spare time I have cut the lawns and put my tender plants back in the greenhouse. I am now sitting on the hammock drinking a nice glass of white wine.😊

Now I feel guilty! My bird table is shabby and half the roof has fallen off, the gate needs painting...... I hope we have a long summer 🙂
