    Just did this today, in a garage in the rain.
    All wet-on-wet Ronan lettering enamel.
    Hopefully it will dry by tomorrow.
    It’s just freehand, kind of cartoonical but it does look better than what he used to have.
    For some reason the sun seemed like he needed a missing tooth, I guess I am in a hockey mood.
    Kind of makes me hungry for Raisin Bran though.
    This is for my son’s friend and his wife, last year I did lettering for another friend and they won a boat naming contest.
    Never got a good pic of that one though.
    😉
    Love…..Jill

    Really like the sun Jill and think the missing tooth works.

    Neil FIRE is Saturday if it doesn’t rain.
    It is still rainy and dreary this evening.
    I’ll save a ladder for you if you want to stop by.
    Thanks for the kind words folks, haven’t heard yet if the couple liked it or not but apparently it’s already on their Facebook.
    😉
    PS
    I think I posted it before but here is the other one I did, bad pic though.
    PSS
    This is what made me take the tooth out of the sun, I was all finished but then went back and added (or subtracted) it.
    Link not for the squeamish!

    Quality work as usual. I like the hands, I think that makes it very "friendly" 😀

    Excellent Jill, so much nicer than the plain old boat names I get to do in vinyl!
