Bikers have an expression - "Chrome won't get you home."  That may be so but it is fun to paint.  Not that this is a tricked out trailer queen.  This lowly plumbing fixture adorned the urinal at the now defunct Dogwood Restaurant in Baltimore, Maryland. Some wag noted recently that I could paint anything, kind of the visual equivalent of a singer being able to sing the phone book.  High praise indeed.  When I'm on, I do feel that way.
