This started out with no direction.  I did the spires and it started looking like Statue of Liberty. These two are called "Tape Painting."  I peeled off the original tape but that left uneven edges so... I repainted the edges and applied white vinyl tape to the joints.  Came out fairly decent.

I'm really having second thoughts about this one.  Too busy with too many colors.  I'm in the process of going over it to simplify the design.

 This is on a 3" x 18" scrap from my original panel. Took Quite a bit of time for all the taping, but came out cute. I'm having thoughts of a 30x30 quilt with something ona larger scale.

  Here's how I lay out a 4'x8' sheet of plywood for a couple weeks of painting.

Top Coat!?

 I called Katie Baker, local and nationally known barn quilter... I asked what she did to protect the colors from UV rays.  She suggested PolyCrylic finish.  Found it on Amazon.  This REALLY brings out the colors!  I'll have to find a way to get some before & after pics.
