slow art studio

i finally got to paint some signs for myself; my  new studio on dill road.
stop on in, if you can catch me there! i'm getting quite a bit less work done now that i'm not working at home in my jammies.

center church sign restoration

a lopez historical landmark finally got a facelift. i also painted a new one for the bottom, but it's not hung up yet.
update: the bottom sign was hung up, as well as all of the parking signs i made. it looks good! there was a bit of a snafu on the color of "white" that i used, but it seems to have worked itself out. i try not to use "white white" because it's sort of glaring on the eye. but white isn't always white, and i need to pay closer attention. lesson learned! sometime i need to take another pic on a cloudy day....

inside passage counseling center

i made this out of a recycled real estate sign, from a pile of them that were donated to me once. it saves me time & materials, and the client money. it's 2' x 2', and i added the handle.
i can't recycle just any old piece of plywood, for longevity reasons, but these are heavily painted, thick exterior wood and are in excellent condition even after heavy sanding.

...and two more for heather. i designed this logo over the summer,  and at the time i knew it would be really fun to paint with the gorgeous colors. it was! heather's office is in anacortes, so it will be more of a challenge to get 'on location' shots for these.
