I too like the profile and paint.  Wish I could paint.  I been trying it some but have absolutely no painting ability.  I can draw pretty good with a pencil but that don't do me no good on a bow unless I could find something with a small enough tip and the right ink.  Then I might be able to spruce up some bows.  John

I laid the pattern out with a tape measure and chalk. Did the edges and outlines with a black Sharpie and then used artist acrylics to add color. Having a linen canvas back helped a bunch. To get the pattern I just did some sketches on lined paper.  Red and Green are opposite each other on the color wheel and are called contrasting colors. When red and green are used together they really set each other off.
