Egyptian iron fence panel used as faux gate, below. A fleck of robbins egg blue clinging to the rust inspired the color. Lowe's did the color matching. I chose oil base.
French bistro table, circa 1930's, below, arrived a dark green. Wanting to keep its history , I failed.
Iron table, circa 1960, has legs inspired by the 1950's. I adore furniture overlapping eras. It arrived in grey black.
The chairs, above, were a gift in the early 80's. They were black. .
Robbins egg blue is common in European landscapes. It's a different color all day. In shade, sun, part sun, rain. Its hues change. They're a delight. It took courage to copy what I saw working in Europe.

Why was I afraid to paint? I regret the time not having my furniture robbins egg blue.
.
It MAKES ME HAPPY.
