Occasionally I paint things other than canvas.
Yesterday I painted (stained) the deck. It’s a BIG deck. I started at 7 a.m. and had it trimmed out in an hour. Then reinforcements arrived. Allen agreed to help. He doesn’t like to paint but he was great help. And with the two of us rolling it we were finished in another hour or so.
The hardest part was keeping the dogs inside.
If you look closely at the photo of the throw run you can see that Lincoln ran out and pick up some paint on his paws and then ran right back into the house to put little paw prints everywhere.
I think it turned out great but of course, it had to be inspected by Jed and Lincoln. I think they approved.

You might need to frame that rug! I haven’t seen many paintings by dogs and he may be very proud of his work!
I know you were looking forward to completing the deck staining! Your 4-legged supervisors were inspecting the finished job! Paw prints to prove it!
