Finished and Finished

The green looks a bit uneven because it is wet. Those tiny white letters were challenging, nay, CHALLENGING!

The two sided A-frame mural (sign? what is this thing?) needed a few touch-ups.

 

In case you are wondering, yes, I can name all the flowers. They are all foothill flowers, not in my wildflower book Wildflowers of Mineral King: Common Names.

 

Other than getting the quail as close to reality as possible, this side was just lots of scribbling in brownish yellows and yellowish browns. 

Now what am I going to work on??

  1. But . . . those tiny white letters are so important! Did you know J.S. Bach inscribed “S.D.G.” at the end of his compositions?

    If you mentioned what the double sided board was for, I missed it. So I’m curious–are you going to show it in its final location? I’m curious! Both sides look great, very realistic, both flora and fauna!

    • Sharon, those tiny white letters were so very important that I squinted my eyes, stuck my tongue between my teeth and held my breath while painting them!

      I haven’t shown the final location of the A-frame sign because it isn’t yet installed. It is to cover a booster pump that is part of our neighborhood water system.

      • . . . and used a single hair paint brush, I bet!

        Oh that’s right, the “ugliness” post! I still look forward to seeing the finished product in place!
