"B" is for Breezy

Handpainted Breezy Point themed wedding plaque.

Complete with little red wagon:

Cait asked if I could make something similar to my previous NYC wedding plaque (see it here) but she wanted a Breezy Point scene.

I have never been to Breezy Point so I took all my inspiration from photos:

The lighthouse:

And the bridge:



I did a quick sketch:

Cait approved and the finished piece is this:

Complete with the lighthouse:

And the bridge:

Here's a few progress pics:

1. Cut 1/2" plywood with jigsaw:

Prime.

2. Two coats BM Harbor Haze for the background.

Using very thin paint lay out the design:

3.  Fill in larger shapes with color and build up scene:

4. Sand edges lightly to distress, apply Minwax Ipswich Pine stain.

Seal with satin poly.

Attach top and bottom lettering pieces with screw eyes.

These newlyweds now have a sweet memory not only of their wedding day but all those lazy beach weekends.
