GARDEN ART - RAIN BARRELS & More

On the Side is a place to show all the other things I have my hands into!

Rain Barrels - a few years ago we moved to the Chesapeake Bay and what we found is that a lot of people have rain gardens and rain barrels.  The purpose being that it helps keep contaminated rain runoff from going into the Bay from fertilizers etc.  So now,  people want them decorated with  fun designs and here are a few that I have painted.



And a few critters for a client in Michigan.  Sandhill Crane, Chipmunk (cute but little buggers) and below a Painted Turtle.

What kind of primer paint and sealer do you use? To prevent peeling, fading from elements?

Exactly what I was wondering.... what paint do you use and what preparations do you use?
