another job well done

Did some painting and had to match a color.



When I was done it looked ok to me.


Before my wife (who has essentially perfect color vision) could look at it a friend of mine came over and said I did not match the colors correctly.


He's color blind...for gosh sakes and if he sees I did it wrong...no need to go any further.


Wife said she'll help me when I re-do it.


Aw, wet paint looks different. You should have applied it dry!

It was a shadow box that I painted myself (latex)

then used the same paint to paint the shelves for it.

What I did not know is that my wife painted the shadow box with enamel of a slightly different color.

I hope you had her get on her knees and apologize! A man's home is his castle!
