Painting up our coffee table and guitar

I’m busy painting some stuff on our coffee table, bought at habitat for humanity for $11.00. It’s a work in progress and I’ve spent about 12 hours on the table top, drawing it up and painting with acrylics. The center crow design I pinched from an artist named Daniel Martin Diaz, and I incorporated a few other things that I like into the design. The lotuses, orobus snake, eye and hand come from several esoteric and mystical books.





My son wanted a tune up on his acoustic guitar so we tried to strip the finish off the body which is VERY difficult. I abandoned the idea and taped off and sprayed the body a satin black and went to town on it with 3 different sized white Deco color paint pens from art supply warehouse. There is a lot of dots on this guitar!! Still working on the guitar back I don’t know how many hours I’m into this! I doodle on it when I’m sitting around with everyone.
