Rain Barrel Art




I attended the Pinellas County rain barrel training program and am now a certified rain barrel specialist. Well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration! But I did learn how to set up the barrel - which I immediately decided was Mark's job... and how to paint the barrel - which I thought was more within my skill set. I came home with a 59 gallon plastic barrel, after a struggle to wrestle it into the BMW.

Mark primed the barrel, while I figured out what to paint on it. I finally decided to use one of his old t-shirts as my inspiration. It's from Hawaii and features the ancient Hawaiian petroglyphs. I thought they'd be within my painting capabilities. As you can see, these ancients were surfer dudes!
