Finished this job up the hill about a week ago.. Glass is 10ft x 5' 23k gold with Stippled matt centers on Victor Museum.. Lowell and Scrolls are 18 k. Pictorials were done By Dixie Claire.
I did intend to do a Blended shade on the all the lettering and ribbon but Had some real issues trying to get the paint to blend at 10,000 ft with the sun on the glass most of the day so it was drying my paint way to fast. It was actually drying on my brush. (My 1 Shot was starting Skin in less then 3 minutes at 10,000 feet)
I will leave the blends for in house work where I can control the environment.

Beautiful, at 10,000 feet you did a great job. Being I live just about at sea level it would have been very difficult for me. Bill

My goodness, 10,000 feet? Isn't that the ceiling for breathing without supplemental oxygen? You are truly at the top of your craft. LOL Great job. I have my first gold leaf window job coming up. I may call you and bend your ear a little.

Bill, nice job. Did you use some drops of smiths cream or petrleum-oil in your paint? That helps the paint from drying to quick and enables you to blend.
