Painting vines on deck rails

 There are a number of reasons that I'm painting this but number one right now is that the ramp and deck are new and I wanted to protect the knots from the weather so I started by painting leaves on top of the knots and then connected them with vines and added a few more leaves to give it the look of vines wrapping around it.

The ramp is huge and dominates the entire yard and garden. The idea of painting flowers and vines on it is to make it blend in a bit. Yes, it's going to be a big job but I'm looking at it as an opportunity to create my own curbside art gallery.

Very vine indeed

I walked into the room an thought it was kind of neat the way the leaves vines I'd painted on the wall blended in with the potted plant on my bookcase so I thought I'd share them here and you can help me decide whether or not I should keep on with my little experiment in wall finishes. I'll be anxious to hear what you think of it.
