Spray Paint a Horse


I <3 horses and when I saw this adorable horse statue at a local thrift sale I snatched him up.


 I was not a fan of his coloring but I knew I could make him any color I wanted. I chose Krylon spray paint in sea glass.




I was working on other painted frames and there seemed to be a color theme ;)


Here it is after multiple coats and to add the definition back I rubbed on Fusion Mineral Paint ageing and copper waxes
