Painted Rocking Horse Project

10 years ago

This month DH refinished this Rocking Horse for someone to give as a gift to her granddaughter. It had originally been the son's and she asked that we make it more girlie. Typically we ONLY refinish and repair but knowing that I really wanted to start decorative painting again and fulfill my dreams business wise, DH asked if I would do something w/ it.

So one night right before Christmas I started painting. It's been years since I've picked up a paint brush to decoratively paint furniture and I was really nervous but I'm pleased w/ the results. I tried to keep the head and tail similar to the original. She requested blue eyes so I did change the eyes.:
