    It has been bugging me that the walls and such in my garage are pretty bland. So, I finally started doing something about it. Got out the overhead projector, made a couple transparencies, and got to painting last weekend and today. I've had a thing for Betty Page for a few decades, so that's what I painted on the wall and beer fridge. More to be done as time permits. The wall pic is life size, a little over 5 feet high
    The OSB sheeting wasn't easy to get nice clean lines on with the high and low spots on it. The worst thing of painting the fridge door was taking it off. That made for warm dark rum and coke.
