Don't listen to me.

I told everybody that painting that chair was so much work, that I would never do that again.  It was a good experience - but too much work.
So, what did I do?
I bought a SOFA at a garage sale to paint.
I really really really debated about buying it.   
The lines are simple and clean and the material is like denim, which is just about like canvas.
I bought it and now I have to paint it.

I put it on the porch to paint it.

Quickly realized it needed to be up higher or my back was gonna do me in...

I started blending colors onto the uh, canvas...

Realized the porch was too cold and too narrow to work on this - brought it in and put it on my work table.

More blending of colors.

It was looking too boring so I spiffed it up.

This was getting better.  Then I thought that I would put in big blocks of white to counter balance the similar sized patches of blue and green.

ARGHHH!
Now it looks like a flock of birds pooped all over it!
Big birds too!

OK then.
I will start over.

 A fresh base for a new painting/sofa.

I am not so good at photoshop - but in order to not paint this whole sofa AGAIN, I wanted to get an idea of colors and shapes to see what I would like.

Or something like this....

I painted the top edge lime green and the back and sides, I painted shades of orange from dark to lighter at the top.

Oh my gosh!
Two coats of primer white on each pillow.  Two sides to each pillow and cushion.  This is getting to be a big big BIG project.

A leap of faith on 
making these lines.  
 Looks like a bar code couch  here. 
 Ewwwww.

Ahhhh.... better.....

I am liking this part here!

Trying to imagine orange pillows.
Stay tuned....
