More Tom Moore...

[Larry White]

My thanks to Jeff Lang for sharing the vector based art and the pictorial on this little gem! I aquired this old frame which also had the old glass in it which I used for this piece. It really looks quite charming on the old rippley glass. I knocked this one out fairly quickly. The steps were;
1) Asphaltum glass, apply stencil, sandblast, remove stencil, flow in glue, allow to chip, clean off asphaltum.
2) Clean panel and Angel Gild.
3) Hand paint bright lines, remove excess gold.
4) Hand paint drop shades on text.
5) Paint background of 10 cent panels.
6) Paint blended red background.
7) Reframe installing pictorial.

I also touched up some spots on the frame and regilded the knobs. The angel gilding was completed in 2 hours, leafing would've taken days.

This piece looks like a restoration right out of the Fine Gold Sign Co. THANKS, RICK, FOR TEACHING ME THIS WONDERFUL ART!!!

Here's another shot of the same piece...

Sir Larry -

Very nice piece, indeed it does look like it just came out of Rick's professional restoration process.

Greatly appreciate you're sharing more of your fine work.
