The green looks a bit uneven because it is wet. Those tiny white letters were challenging, nay, CHALLENGING!
The two sided A-frame mural (sign? what is this thing?) needed a few touch-ups.
In case you are wondering, yes, I can name all the flowers. They are all foothill flowers, not in my wildflower book Wildflowers of Mineral King: Common Names.
Other than getting the quail as close to reality as possible, this side was just lots of scribbling in brownish yellows and yellowish browns.

But . . . those tiny white letters are so important! Did you know J.S. Bach inscribed “S.D.G.” at the end of his compositions?
If you mentioned what the double sided board was for, I missed it. So I’m curious–are you going to show it in its final location? I’m curious! Both sides look great, very realistic, both flora and fauna!
Sharon, those tiny white letters were so very important that I squinted my eyes, stuck my tongue between my teeth and held my breath while painting them!
I haven’t shown the final location of the A-frame sign because it isn’t yet installed. It is to cover a booster pump that is part of our neighborhood water system.
. . . and used a single hair paint brush, I bet!
Oh that’s right, the “ugliness” post! I still look forward to seeing the finished product in place!
