Morning all.

Thunderstorms rumbled through this morning, but it's not going to cool us off.  Hope to get the garage washed out today.

Not sure what today will bring.
The beach is out to many tourists! 

Maybe some work on my Derrick.

Everyone have a wonderful day!!

Have a great day everyone.

I'm painting the slate sidewalks:

Yesterday I primed with a neutral grey spray paint.  I had problems with the nozzle so it didn't cover well and I got splatters that I wiped off.  But that's OK, the irregular coverage is an advantage.  Then I grabbed blue and several shades of gray and a 1/4 bristle brush on a yoghurt lid pallets.  I mixed some paint, painted a single square, went back and mixed a differet shade, painted the next square, etc.  I wanted to cover each square without bleeding into the adjacent squares, and I used a circular/scrubbing motion.  Then I went back and added some highlights/shading to down-play those squares that looked a bit too stark.  Once the paint is dry, I'll go back and paint the curbs a light grey color for granite, then let dry overnight.  Tomorrow I'll add A&I wash to bring out the cracks/joints, and then do some pigments for more texture.
