My most recent special commission was to decoratively paint the exterior of a Little Free Library. This project was proposed to me by my friend and coworker Crystal Long. She had specific design ideas, which made it easier to get started. I used exterior paint and acrylics then sealed the whole design with three coats of varnish. I’m confident it will survive the weather for many years. It was installed in the children’s park of the Meadow’s Edge neighborhood of Stephen City.
