I finished the re-painting of the obelisk this weekend. I’m happier than I usually am with the outcome. Typically I over-analyze my work and allow my compulsion to create perfection get in the way but this time I just set my bar low and came out with something I’m very happy with because of it.
When I first built the Obelisk in 2006, the paint job was just a bland, ordinary gray. This time, I modeled it after an obelisk in Pembroke center that was painted white at some point in time and the paint had been worn away by weather from the top-down over the years.
Here is the progress I made this weekend with the last picture being the end result:
