Well, when I say first try, really I mean second try. The first few were decent, but not worth showing. These three turned out much better. I still want to change to Devcon 2 Ton for epoxy, but these will be very functional this fall.

Those are your first? Wow, you have a great touch already. Nice blending of colors and it looks like you did the stripes and other add-ons free hand, that makes you a better painter than relying on stencils. The more you practice doing lines and circles and spots of varying sizes, you'll find that you can free hand almost anything. I still practice drills that I learned in a book, some times just to warm up or refresh when I haven't painted for a while. You already seem to have a knack for painting.Keep it up, you'll only get better with every attempt. But don't get ticked off, my garbage can is full of paint jobs that didn't make it. Have an idea and stick to it, then have patience and change on the fly if the urge strikes you.
Very good even if it was you 1001st.
