Clematis Mailbox

This mailbox was plain white plastic when it came to me for decoration.  The home it stands in front of is known for its fabulous Clematis in the spring which is where I took my inspiration from.  My goal for painting this multitude of flowers was to paint quick and loose for a joyous welcome.  I think I succeeded!  Look for the Monarch butterfly in the corner of one side and the honeybee on the other side.   When I finished the art work, the mailbox was brushed with several coats of polyurethane to make it New England weather worthy! (Alas the polyurethane did not work on this plastic surface.  Within months all my work all peeled off!!  So sad. Lesson learned).
