New project

Next project begins. This is for a two piece window, main panel fixed, second panel on a top hinged light, opening outwards. Both panels are to be fitted to the inner face of the existing double glazing. They sit in a wooden frame on the first floor landing and face due south with a stunning view of the river Wylie and surrounding fields. 
The cottage is called "Acorn Cottage" and this is to be incorporated into the design and a magnificent oak tree which stands in the garden is to form the centrepiece of the main panel. My thoughts are to separate the script from the picture and maximise the impact of both. So a bold tree to fill the main panel and the script on the small opening light above. After a raft of preliminary sketches I have settled on what looks the right style for the tree, and have produced a proof of concept drawing. The client is very happy so far, so next job is the tricky task of preparing the actual design, cartoon and painting guide. I am hoping to finish in about a month but am still quite busy so it could take a wee while longer.
