Almost Finished

I still need to finish a few details on the floorcloth. It still needs a bit of embellishment around the border and at least three coats of poly.

Finish the Floorcloth Design

  Today I plan on at least finishing the design for my latest floorcloth. This cloth is going in a powder room that will carry the beach theme. I plan on painting beach umbrellas in vibrant hues and then painting a pale lime green border with possibly a quote about beaches as in the other floorcloth. Not sure, it will come to me as the painting progresses. When the design is complete the cloth needs to dry twenty four hours and then sealed with three coats of matte polyurethane. The cloth is actually a canvas that has been sealed with gesso and primer that is the first step.
  I definitely plan on being inside today.. it is already 92 in the shade and it is not even 11:00 am.
