At this point I have applied 1 coat of HDU Primer and sanded that after it had a chance to dry.
Then I applied a base coat of paint, This color is mostly for the wood grained texture background, but I'ts just as easy to apply this base coat to the entire piece as it adds another layer of paint to the sign, Plus I don't need to worry about cutting in any edges yet.
 As you can see this process was making the cow pretty hungry so I thought I'd give him some oats.

Now we're cooking with Gas!
Really starting to take on some life, It's amazing what color can do.
The basics are here but It still needs a few more coats, the lettering, the snout (pink), the black spots and the green border.
The wood grain, the white and the black lettering outline are complete.

The last detail will be sowing The wild Oats stay tunned:

      I Owe the ability to take this journey to; My Mom
    (for she bred in me a drive and creativity required for this type of trip) My Incredible Wife and Children for their support, and to the world of creative people that inspire me everyday.
     One in particular is Dan Sawatzky (click here to meet Dan) This Guy has Changed the way I look at things. He is truly an artist and a Visionary with passion.
