Popular Post heppnerguy Posted October 1, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 One of my granddaughters moved to another state a couple of months ago and has a new neighbor who has been very generous to her and her family. He has given them several items from his farm and from some of his hunting successes. She wanted me to do something for him in return. Apparently he has a bar in his house and she wanted me to make him a plaque to hang in his bar. She wanted something on the humorous side and I choose the one I am posting today. As you can see I went a little out of my bounds and decided to use a little painting to make it stand out a little better. As you may or may not know, I have been very unhappy every time I try to add some color to my work but I tell myself, if I don't keep trying to improve on it, how can I get better. I am more satisfied than I normally am on this one but I also understand I have a long, long way to go to understand how to add my colorization. That said, this pattern is a Steve Good pattern that I thought might satisfy my granddaughter and hopefully the man she is giving it to.

barb.j.enders Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 Dick, The painting is great. You are too hard on yourself (though we all are that way). That is some great clean cutting on the letters. Well done! heppnerguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatgrandpawrichard Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Personally, I think that you did a Fantastic Job on both the cutting and the coloring!

I just do not have that artistic ability but if I keep trying perhaps some day I just might catch on about how to do it, at least that is my hopes Dick heppnerguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
