You probably should put shellac on it and not keep it outside where it is exposed to the elements.
I willtry, thank you!
It is very cute, but I truly know of nothing that is going to restore it without repainting. Maybe someone else has a better solution, but any chemicals you put on it you risk damaging the paint. If you have a steady hand, you can find paints that match and you can brighten it up. Then I would spray it with a clear coat of a Krylon outdoor clear spray.
When you use any sprays like this to seal, you have to wait for the paint to be totally dry, follow the directions on the can to the letter and let it dry in a cool, dry place.
I hope you are able to freshen it up! Post back with an update!
Will try, thank you!
Cute picture - painting pictures on shovels is new to me.
My daughter paints pictures on old saws and she does sometimes 'restore' older pictures using this method.
Clean the surface extremely well - this will be very important since you have used cooking oil on the surface.
Follow instructions on this link.
After it is clean and very dry you can use clear Rust Oleum. Find in stores or on line.

Some?tag=thrif06-20 people use special varnish but you should talk to someone at Ace Hardware or TrueValue Hardware for advice on which to use.
Will try, thank you!
