## Caption

I tried to get the boys in on a photo shoot of the finished fireplace I painted but they weren’t feeling cooperative. 

I really enjoy painting big “set pieces” like this on 1/4 inch plywood. All the mantel stuff is one  separate piece and we’ll attach it to the fireplace with wooden cleats. This is for my art fair booth but I’d want to hang that mantel on my wall during the off season. When there’s time I’m going to sand down the poly and give it another coat to fix the cragginess. 

Teddy is on my back in the last picture because I cannot bend over when he’s around without 12lbs jumping on my back. 

Come see this and more at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden Art Fair this Saturday- Sunday! I’ll also have this at Art-A-Whirl the following weekend. Link in bio to see all my fairs. 😌 sculpturegardenartfair
