Tabletop

This is an old table top I painted black some years ago, having intended at the time to scribble all over it with pastels. Then I forgot about it, and it's been sitting out in the weather all this time. As you can see, the paint is mostly falling off — that's because I was too lazy to prep the surface properly before I painted on it. The paint would have fallen off even if it had been inside, in a relatively benign environment; it would just have happened a bit more slowly.
