Brick Wall


Despite the heat today, I decided to give painting my block fence a try.
I bought a gallon of brick/concrete paint in a color called "baked clay"
(mostly it looks like sandy grey) and I am custom mixing my colors.
I check places like Walmart and Lowes for mistinted paints or buy the little samples
and mix that into one cup of the brick paint.  That gives me enough for about
four stripes of paint.  Very experimental -- and I'm having fun doing it! :)
(Talk about a hippy kind of thing!)




My plan is to put up the basic stripes in mostly earth / desert tones,
and add in some smaller stripes of color, darker and/or more colorful after.
One thing at a time.  Like they say:  Don't be afraid of color, BE BOLD!
*laughs*
