That Old Shutter

There were lots of cute suggestions for what to do with that old shutter.

Being the Central California Artist, I decided to simply use it for a painting.

Because it obviously came from an old cabin, I decided to paint a cabin on it.

Because I try to be businesslike, I decided to paint the most popular cabin* from the most popular place** on it.

That is one rough surface. Who thought this was a good idea, anyway?? Lots of layering ahead to get this up to snuff, whatever that weird little saying means.

*The most popular cabin I paint is the Honeymoon Cabin.

**The most popular place I write about is Mineral King.

P.S. The blue is tape, and the white is primer where it overlaps the tape.

  1. Good choice! And when the painting is done . . . where will the shutter go?

    P.S. Did you have to approve your own comment?

    • Sharon, I will have to put a price on the shutter, and then when shows begin again (minus face shields, masks, and fear-based spacing), I will take it there in hopes of finding a buyer.

      I DID have to approve my own comment! If I had used my normal email address, it wouldn’t have even allowed me to comment, so I used an email address that I seldom use. And it asked for my name, so I guess people who show up as Anonymous just skip that step.

  2. “Up to snuff a nod a pinch above” is the original phrase, having to do with quality and expense of tobacco,

    • Hi Blog Readers,
      The comment above is by me, your Central Calif. artist. I wanted to know if I could comment on my own blog!
