Painted Welly

The last welly I painted was in Clarice Cliff style - this time I thought I'd have a go at copying the idea of Aboriginal Art, using dots. You need a first layer of gesso, so the acrylic paint adheres OK, then I used sticks, cotton buds and a fine paint brush to do the dots. Finally the whole boot had a coat of yacht varnish for protection. It has holes drilled for drainage, so in summer I can use it as an outdoor planter.
