You Never Know....

You never know where art may show up next!

 A blank canvas...I mean a pure white rain barrel, and a friend who wanted to

meet the corporate challenge of painting rain barrels for the

county fair, all conspired to rope me in to designing and painting this most

unusual object de arte.

Our company sponsor is Nahacky's Aquarium, premier tropical fish store of the Space Coast,              so of course we needed a

"fishy theme." Here I am applying the first of many coats of paint...

Now a little supervision from "the boss" Dave.

After many days of "technical research" and lots of hours of painting

the design is coming together.

Now it is actually getting fun..the brighter the better.  We opted for

humorous and a very liberal interpretation of our fish.

Final product?  You have to see it to believe it.

Put the Brevard County Fair on your must-visit list running March 22-

April 1 at Wickham Park.  Of course there are midway rides

but after you enjoy the fainting goats, the prize chickens and

the chile-cookoff you will want to drop by the tent

of painted rain barrels...I mean, Van Gogh had to

start somewhere, no?
