Our customer asked for a 14.5 inch by 10 inch classic oval sign showing a gander standing on a green with a couple of mor geese in the background. Painted by our artist Ivan Brenton. The font is called Tiffany Bold.
House Number Plate with Owl Motif
This house number sign depicting an owl was painted by Rosmary Hitchman in her spare time for a friend of hers in France. Even though it was not ordered by a customer, I just thought you would like to see her work.
House Sign depicting a Horse Portrait
Our customers requested a head portrait of their horse to be painted on this 14.5 inch by 10 inch classic oval together with their house name and postcode. They sent us a photo of the horse and Ivan Brenton hand painted a pretty lifelike face. The sign was also given a gold painted rim.
Hedgehog and Butterfly House Sign
Our customer asked us to create a sign depicting a cute hedgehog looking at a colourful butterfly sitting amongst flowers. Painted by Rosemary Hitchman
House Sign depicting Kestrels in flight
Our customer ordered a similar sign a few months back and fitted it to the front of his home. He then contacted us and asked for a second one - for the rear entrance to the property. Both house signs where hand painted by Ivan Brenton
House Name with Bird Motif
Our customer saw a previous example of a hawthorns house sign we made depicting a song thrush sitting on a branch of hawthorn and asked us to create one for her. This theme is very popular - probably because of the West Brom soccer team signia having a similar theme. So lots of West Brom supporters name their homes 'The Hawthorns' after the stadium.
House Address Sign with flower Motifs
Our customer located in USA asked us to create this house address sign as a gift for a friend in Northern Ireland. She asked for wild meadow flowers wsurrounding a very large house number with the street name arching along the bottom. The font is called Century Schoolbook. Painted by Rosemary Hitchman.

American red squirrel House Sign
Our customer asked us to create a house sign depicting an american red squirrel eating sitting on a bare branch surrounded by red berries.
