As you may have seen in my other blog, I am doing photography professionally now. My sister-in-law Betsy showed me how to use inexpensive shower board from Lowe's to make a white background.

So I have two sheets of 4x4 shower board... but sometimes white is just so plain. So I painted the backside of the shower board. I used broad strokes to blend the paint and made the edges darker.

And now I can use the white side or the painted side as a background. And it doesn't take up any extra space! I love how it looks out of focus (it's nice in focus too). The colors add a nice pop to portraits.

But a word of caution... make sure to put your paints away properly!

Bath night.
(It did come off in the tub, which is a good thing because it looks like a horrible wound!)
