Bob: Completed

What can I say? I do love Bob. I love his red and white checkered overalls. I love the hair and his smile. I have fond memories of eating at Bob's as a child, especially the chocolate milkshakes. I remember when my family moved to Texas how happy we were to discover that the Big Boy was there too, even if his name was Kip. I love him so much I know I have to paint him again.

At last I am beginning to paint Bob.

Painting Bob: Stage Eight

More layers on the posts holding the sign up and the outer edge of the sign.

Painting Bob: Stage Seven

With the letters finished and the frisket removed, I have started working on the rest of the sign. Even though I haven’t begun to paint Bob yet, he is now becoming an important element.
