Another Painted Birdbath

Victoria

I was given a copper lamp shade that I decided to use as a base for my concrete birdbath. I have been painting realistic looking leaves but wanted to match (I hope) the eventual verdigris patina of the copper base.What do you think?

    The leaf looks great on that copper base.

      @Douglas Hunt Thanks Doug, can't wait till the base weathers. I may sand it a little to start it.
