Great job, I like your frame. It adds antique provenance.

Thanks for the kind words Rick, no this isn't my first scroll saw project, but this is the first time I've incorporated painting into a piece.

Great job with added color, I've yet to take the plunge into air brushing, although my father passed down all his automotive spray equipment which I toy with at times. It definitely has a more polished finish than brush work, which I prefer on some projects. I'd like to see more of your work, it looks amazing!

Thanks everyone for the kind comments, really appreciate it!

Portrait and landscape painting is another hobby on mine. I've been searching for ways to incorporate painting with my woodworking projects. This is my first attempt to paint a scrollsaw project. Give me your honest opinion on how it looks.
