Another Odd Job, Day 3

First, this isn’t my third day of painting – it is the third day of posting on this topic. I don’t know how many days or how many hours, but it is entirely possible that I underbid the job. It became so fun that I just kept layering, tightening, detailing, and correcting.

Trail Guy helped me flip the sign right side up. Then I realized that the left leg of the N was too short. We ditched the oval that was part of the original design, but I neglected to reshape the words. Always learning as I go. . .
Pippin was thrilled to have company in the morning.
HEY – is that an osteospermum?
A camelia, perhaps? And the longer left leg of the N needs more layers.
Finished!

Well, not exactly finished. The back needs painting, but that is boring, so the next time you see this, I hope it is hanging above the new nursery at the Three Rivers Mercantile.

    • Thank you, Sandy! That is my intention. There is no good reason to have things be ugly when there are alternatives.
