YIKES! Whare does time go?

I can't believe that it has been a month since I last posted. I have been really busy getting ready for a number of upcoming classes and there has not been a lot of time for painting new things. I have spent some time with my new favorite colored pencils and I have finished a couple of projects that I was requested to paint. Here is a little bench that I was asked to paint. It is done in the New England Primitive style. The top and the plugs on the sides are stained. The base is painted black. Once stained, the top was taped off and the design was painted in each rectangle.
