Painting Critters

At Home in Sugar Land, Texas

I have a large collection of statues in my yard. Many needed painting. The Texas sun bleaches everything in no time at all.
This 4 foot alligator was bleached white. I started painting him last week and he's just about finished except for a good clear coat.

Sure looks lifelike. Bet it keeps some critters out of the yard.

For a moment I thought you'd added a new pet!! What a remarkably life-like statue. You've done a fantastic job with the paint! V

Great job with the toning on the paint job! Made me click on the thumbnail to see if it was real or not! Thank you for not deciding to be artsy and use day-glo paint or something! V

Amazing close up. Wonderful detail. Fortunately these are very, very, slow. "V"
