Sign

This is an old antique Exxon gas station sign...only I think it was Esso then...Craig's grandfather started the business in the 1800's...then his Uncle Freddy inherited it....Craig's brother Byrd used it as a sign at the end of the road to announce veggies this way...then we brought it with us in the move to SD.
This is what Craig wanted painted on it to place at the end of our drive entrance.

I would love nothing better than to age its appearance...but he would freak if I was to do anything else to it.

That is BB retrieving a pheasant...Big Reb standing a pheasant and a couple of jumped flying pheasant...grasses and trees.
The rock is Sam gone wrong...he became landscape.

Painted with metal paint..not a forgiving material...but I think it will hold up the best in the elements on a metal sign. There are not a lot of colors to choose from either and mixing the few I could get my hands on was limiting.

The painting itself is done in a minimal detail style...so the brain fills in the missing pieces and the sign will appear fuller as they pass.

It is so far up no one would be able to see individual feather strokes or an eye...

Anyway it is done and ready to hang...

Thanks for visiting..

Well, how neat is that? Now, I want to see a picture of where it's actually hanging. Always greedy for more, you know. :)Bea

MrCachet said...

I second Bea - there's nothing to give it any perspective as to size, Mary. Please let us see it 'in place'!

I'm totally in awe of your drawing and art skills. This is wonderful.

Hello Mar, how are you? I see you've been busy on this amazing looking sign! Metal paint huh? I've never used it - looks like it could be hard to work with....
Speaking of hard to work with, the crackle medium I work with really isn't. I use the FolkArt brand of crackle medium. It's a one off application. You put it on, let it dry properly then apply your paint on top. As that paint dries it reacts with the medium and voila! Crackle....

Hi, Mary! Fabulous painting! Even more impressive because it was done with thick, sticky metal paints! Wow! I'm glad your customer likes the way it turned out! :-)

Lori Saul said...

Beautiful altered sign- and now so personal- what a fabulous piece of your art to distinguish your property. It will probably 'age' beautifully on its own too! Great work Mary!

Elizabeth Golden said...

Your sign is awesome. Nice to have all those strong guys to hang it. Send one or two to my house I have a few things for them to do.
Seriously, the artwork is beautiful.
