The Pink Dolphin
Yes, there really are Pink Dolphins!!! I did a
little research before painting a mailbox statue and found several pink
dolphins in nature. There is one in China:

There is the albino dolphin:
And now there is one right here in Cape Coral,Florida!!!
The project itself started out with the front door being painted in a peachy pink crackle finish and the garage door painted a weathered beach wood in the same tones.

The weather here on in SW Florida has been interesting this year, raining almost every day from April to October. When by chance there was a break in the rain for a few days we seized on the chance to finish the outside and get the mail box painted. The city of Cape Coral, however, decided to do the same thing and just I was headed over to paint the mailbox I received notice that the street was being repaved. Fortunately, the weather break continued and finally "Pinky" was created.
Weather had taken its toll on this dolphin mailbox. But now she is in glorious full color. After painting the dolphin I added an opalescent glaze to give her added shimmer.
