Thanks Tom. I feel like I can build something if I can design/or see it. Never had issues with finishing, but never really played around with paint much. My wife is the "Creative One" when it comes to colors, her quilts shows her talents off. Unfortunately, I think I inherited my "Color Knowledge" from my Dad who would wear a green and red plaid shirt with orange and brown plaid shorts, black socks and dress shoes. Your tips along with what I have read here from Sharon is very helpful. I also took someones advice (cant remember whose) and signed up for the websites signds101.com and 3dsignforum.com. Hopefully with what I learn on these 3 forums, I can hope to get close to making some signs close to the quality you do. Thanks for sharing your work.
