Milk Can Art
Painted milk cans, watering cans, portraits and much more!
Would you like to have a milk can painted? For many years, painted milk cans, painted watering cans and even painted ostrich eggs with my customers’ favourite motifs have been my passion. Whether you want your house, your pet, a portrait or a landscape from your home country or your favourite holiday painted on an old milk jug, anything is possible.
In my gallery you will find many of the works that I have painted in recent years. Each of the painted cans is unique and is made weatherproof with five layers of paint and varnish. Painted milk cans are a real piece of jewellery in front of your house in all seasons or even as a letterbox.
The old cans have become a real antique and are also suitable as an original gift for birthdays and weddings. Be inspired by my work and feel free to contact me for your commission if you would like to have a milk can painted!
As most of my works are commissions, you won’t always find milk cans for sale in my shop – but sometimes a can is still looking for a new owner; it’s worth popping in! At the beginning of each year you will also always find the current wall calendar with the most beautiful milk churns, watering cans and oil paintings of the past year in the shop.
