Art for Baby Nursery

[FrankEV]

My Grandson and his Girlfriend (soon to be wife) are expecting a baby boy in September.  When my Grandsons' were born, I was only in my early 40’s and felt I was too young to be called Grandpa so I said just call me Grumps.  That has stuck to this day, so now I’m going to be a Great Grumps!

I was looking for something to make for them and stumbled across this Stencil that I thought would be perfect.  I converted it to a 12” x 18” pattern that I cut in 5/32” Solid Core Birch ply.  The cut panel was affixed to an Air Brush painted ¼” x 12 x 18” BB ply Backer.   The Pattern is very simple, taking me less than two hours to cut using my go to Pegas #2/0 spiral blades.  Painting and drying took a lot longer.

The assembled panel was protected with multiple coats of Krylon Clear Gloss Acrylic Finish.

While the paint dried, I made a Gallery Style Floating Frame constructed out of 3/4" wide Poplar rails and finished with Glidden Max-Flex All Surface spray can Armor (Silver) paint.

I will let the Frame paint fully cure for a few days and then get this into the mail by early next week so they can hang it in the Baby Nursery.

 

Yes as always, comments and critiques are welcome.

This is so Beautiful.  I remember my First Grand-Son.  By the time I finished Scrolling I had almost the complete wall with Disney Characters.  He is mid 20's now and still has many on his bedroom wall.  Very, very Well cut and Painted.  Danny  :+}

Boy, I wish you were my "Grumps", but i'm a little old for that. Anyway, very nice. Although I don't always respond to your work, I'm always amazed.
