Saguaro Cutting Board

This long narrow cutting board was perfect for a saguaro.  I am never sure what the finished painting will look like when I start.  I drew a saguaro on the black surface with a chalk pencil then started to doodle on it.  I added a flower then as I went along I decided to stick with a flower theme. I randomly added color and this is what I ended up with.  I like that I can find an old item that someone has no use for anymore and give it a new life as a decorative item.  I will do a bowl next.  I have painted it black and will decorate it with sunflowers.  I have been on a sunflower kick lately.  That is why I was inspired to paint my nails yellow!  See photo below.
