When I tell people that I'm a decorative painter people often say "huh?" What kind of painter? I then give them some examples of faux painting. You know, venetian plaster, faux exposed brick behind plaster walls in a brand new Italian restuarants, etc... Then they get it. A lot of people then remark I that I have a "cool" job. Well, yes I do have a cool job in some ways, on some days. Other days being a decorative painter in Atlanta is far from cool.
For those that don't know Atlanta GA is known for it's horrible traffic. And the Metro Atlanta area is HUGE a little over 5.5 million these days. Running around town for quotes, supplies, and errands isn't always fun. But, I guess it still beats being behind a desk.
This evening I joined other decorative artist and we had art class. I learned some cool stenciling affects with colored glaze and alcohol. Although I was really struggling tonight and totally ruined my sample board. Most everyone's turned out well. I'll pick mine up and finish it later when the mojo is flowing.
Even we artist have moments when we aren't artistic. So, be brave, be creative. Pick a color and go painting something!
Happy Painting
