Art aprons

 My old art aprons are getting a bit tired.  I always wear them for painting, art, floor, walls, flower pots, table,  golf cart, or anything else.  

So I decided to paint a new one.  Knowing that painting on a dark fabric requires a white under the other colors to make them stand out, I did a quick background. I had my colors at hand waiting for their turns.   But once I had the white gesso undercoat down, I adjusted my plan and shaded it with Paynes grey and called it done.  At least for now.  I will soon be wiping my hands and spilling and spattering other colors on it, so eventually it will be a messy working artist apron.
