Jackie Marth shares with us another of her very striking creations. This project that Jackie painted on a 10-inch tray promises to be a lot of fun to paint. It is done in acrylics.

What surface will you use? The round tray works beautifully but perhaps you can think of another round surface that you might want to decorate. Maybe a box lid or you might even find a small round table in need of a face lift.

This will be a great way to welcome spring. The real-life colors are even more wonderful than what this photograph shows. Remember to invite a guest. Guests are always welcome.

DIRECTIONS:

• This program is appropriate for beginning to intermediate painters.

SURFACE:

• 10-inch Round Tray. The pattern will fit any 10-inch round surface. I like to browse through the thrift shops for my surfaces. If you find an old tray, or other metal surface, you may have to spray it with a primer before painting.
• IMPORTANT: This is very important. You must have this done before the program Base coat your surface with Midnight Blue mixed with a tiny amount of Black. I base coated the rim of my tray with Calypso Blue.
