Haven't been around in a while, but since I painted a sign, I'll post it here.

This is not a picture of the sign
It is a picture of a painting I did of the sign

12X16" Acrylic on canvas

Now that's impressive...it took a couple of takes for me to understand I was looking at a painting and not a photo.

Thanks! It really photographs well, it was my first try at photorealism, and now I'm hooked.

This puts it in perspective
The painting on the left is mine as well, small study for a larger project
