Painting a Potato Bin

Use acrylic paints whenever possible. They are easy to paint over if you need to make a change. This is a photo of my parents potato bin that I decided to decorate for them as a surprise. You should have seen their eyes when I was done.

It's beautiful. How talented you are. You've inspired me to do something with paint and wood and lots of color.

What an extraordinary talent you have! [ I wonder if your future career will utilise your wonderful artistic skills?] And how proud your parents must be. What a good daughter you are. Well done and thank you for sharing with us all.

Dear Christine, You have done a beautiful job, your parents are lucky to have such a thoughtful daughter. I do some folk art painting myself, but I am not that talented. Well done.
