Color on Cupboards

When I was at a big flea market last month, I saw a sign with my favorite 4-letter word on it. FREE. There were 6-7 cabinet doors on the ground, and I took 4 of them, thinking I could paint on them.

It went both good and bad. Even after sanding the wood, the 3 background colors (aqua, light green, and pink) took 4 coats to cover, and the 3 trout all took at least 2 coats to cover.

Do I like it? I do, but it does present one problem. Unlike canvas, the dense wood weighs a lot, and will take some thinking about how to hang the piece. But, as a bonus, the brackets on the doors do provide an excellent way to "string" up the painting.
