Rustic Tin Paintings



Hubby was speaking my love language when he brought home a truckload of rusty, corrugated tin the other day (the next day he brought home a truckload of maple flooring scraps!).

I used a couple of the small pieces this past weekend for a couple paintings. I love painting sunflowers so I painted some on the tin. After blobbing (a technical painting term) some aqua colored paint on the tin, I painted several flowers.
(I do not know what settings I had my camera on, but these are blurry, sorry!)

I framed the tin and used stain over all of it. It is simple and happy and sunny!

I also painted a star (not as easy as it seems with the curves of the tin). I painted yellow first, then red, a little green and finally aqua.

Again, I finished it with a frame and stain.

They are not perfect, but perfectly rustic and happy.

  2. you should do a post on how you frame corrugated tin. i am sure that isn't simple, but yours turned out so well.
