Painted Birdhouse for the Ramp Project

This bright and busy design on a birdhouse is a great way to practice your brushstrokes and have something to show for all of your hard work.

I took the opportunity to vary the shape, size and color of the different strokes to find out which ones I like best.

This project took me about 3 days start to finish but the time it would require for you may vary depending on how much of it you want to do at a time.

There were only 2 sides of this birdhouse that weren't made up of slats so I painted one red and the other blue and then added a few flowers to them.

You can see here how the wheelchair ramp inspired my design.

Painted Birdhouses

If the color scheme on this birdhouse looks familiar it's because I painted it to be part of the "junk" sculpture that I've been working on for the last couple of weeks. I'm also doing a second birdhouse in the same colors but different flowers for the other side of the sculpture. These will mount through the existing screw holes in what used to be the back of my old reclining sofa. (it's now the top of my new trellis)
