a new easy request

[heppnerguy]

 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.

I see nothing wrong with your colors, Dick. Looks to me like you did an outstanding job. I'm sure your granddaughter's new neighbor will be very pleased.

I also think the colors are great and the lettering crisp. Great work

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!

 thank you for the comment. I showed it to my granddaughter this morning via the phone and she liked it so I guess I am half way there to an approval

Personally, I think that you did a Fantastic Job on both the cutting and the coloring! I would be proud to do a job like that and to give it away!

[wombatie]

  Well it is humorous and well cut what more could anyone ask for?  Great work Dick.

  Thank you for your nice comment. I see so many people who colorize their  wood scroll saw project and they look so nice. 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
