Birth of a house sign

ROBBIN'S NEST.

I was recently contacted by a potential costumer who wanted a unique house sign and requested a custom paint job of a robin standing on a nest with four eggs inside of it.  I did my homework, found a few promising images on the internet that I could paint, created a proof of what the sign would look like, and got the OK.  This was to be a double sided sign hung up by a wooden post outside her lakefront home. The pictures below depict different stages along the journey of creating this beautiful sign. 

Sophisticated was the first word....

   Sophisticated was the first word out of my costumer's mouth when I presented her with her hand made, custom finished house sign. Her face lit up when she held the sign in her hands. Her exact words were " you Sir created this sign with a heart beat behind your every move", and she was right. I was asked to push my boundaries and create an aged, weathered, battered looking house sign.
