That's it! Deco~page...Just looked it up. Decoupage! I googled it, didn't know the spelling either. And I'd forgotten those were photos of YOUR flowers you grew from your garden, Sunshine, that's right!!!LOL That's got to be my favorite, this cabinet of yours.

 I did take an art class in high school once and I do remember the lessons on shades and lights....and the ability to paint what you are actually seeing. Even better, to know the way light and shadows work; stuff like that. Don't recall I saved anything I painted or drew ha! My talents must live in other places:x not sure where.

I used to watch that guy on tv who painted the nature scenes...the one with the reddish fro; assume he was shown all across the country on the public stations. I recall he used to start in the background, the sky first...

I still have my paint box with oils and acrylics, brushes etc from 1969.....probably hard as a rock in the tubes but still saved it all almost 40 years.

That paint box is a time capsule ...love that kinda stuff.
