Reinventing Duck Feet
A sorta, kinda finished ducky, in front of some just barely started duckies
I have a new job, painting yard decoration animals for our milk inspector. I have no guidelines or patterns...this is just coming off the top of my head...which is amazingly empty just now. Outdoor paint is a lot harder to blend than artist's paint too, I can tell you. I hate to admit how long it took me to mix up duck foot orange on Saturday....and I got it right the first time. I am kinda, sorta dreading this....
I have one duck-ette just about finished. When I get her done I will post a photo....maybe......

Good for you! I'd love to know just what kind of paint you use. I've occasionally wanted to paint some little treasure to put in my garden, but didn't know what to use.
And I vote you show us a photo, no matter what you think of your effort. It'll sure be better than what I could do.
akagaga, we went down to Wally World and bought gloss Krylon exterior paint....don't know how it is going to weather but...and it is now there...the photo I mean
JB, you got that right. lol
TMM, hmmmm....thanks so much for your generosity, but.....
Dani, yeah, yeah, I am having SO much fun with it. lol
LHW, well, I am looking for honest assessments of them there duckies. I am inventing all this as I go
Cathy, hmmm....I hadn't thought of that.
Joated, that is no lie. I have indeed
Ericka, I'll bet I could...and I would love to see your art. Your pottery is so fantastic!
Mrs. M, thanks, soon as I get the big duckies done it is on to the little duckies, and the turtles and the bunnies and finally....the cow...
SC Momma, thanks, it was hard to get started, but now it is going a little bit better

Duck feet? Crackers! 'Round the bend! I tell you, she's finally hit the loony bin!

If you need some models I will send my ducks your way.
It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. BAHAHAHHAHA.
ah man, I came here for the pictures. What a great way to hook us yard art fans. I'll be back to check on your artwork.
Too cute! TC painting duck toes.
Does a massage go with it?
Well, now I know you've finally quacked!
Nice job, BYW.
cute.
couldn't you use acrylics and then a clear varnish? that's what we do for our lawn art.
They are cute!!! You've done a wonderful job, making them personable.
I love them! Good luck with the paint - so far so good.
They're such cuties! Great job!
