Red Roses

Finally I have completed both of the bistro chairs and now I can focus on the table.  In between the rain showers today, I used the wire brush to get rid of the loose paint and I threw a couple of watering can fulls of warm water over it.  Then I brought it inside to dry it off and set about painting the 1st coat. 

Looks like it had been blue at some time or other, you can just see bits of blue paint underneath

Definitely going to paint the roses red, but do I leave some of this darker green showing through for the leaves??  Hmmm, might be a bit too fiddly.  I'll have a think before doing the second coat tomorrow.
