I loved doing these old boots, which were a gift from my son. First job - to drill holes in the soles for drainage. After priming the surface with gesso, I used the three primary colours in acrylic paint and an old shaving brush, and just let the colours mix on the boots. Next - poppies on one boot and iris on the other - and a coat of varnish. I've planted them with geraniums and petunias. I'll add more photos as the summer goes on. Hopefully they'll be a riot of colour.
