Painted Planters

I did a very fun project recently...I painted Rufus Porter inspired landscape scenes on salvaged planters! All the "girls" in the family received one at Easter. Each planter was personalized with the recipients house and other things... They were a big hit!!

Rufus Porter inspired cultivated hillside

I  recently had the opportunity to view original Rufus Porter murals at the Abraham Colby House in Amesbury, Massachusetts.  One of the walls had a beautiful cultivated hillside scene, and it turned into the inspiration for a new painting!
