House number signs depicting Owls
Our customer saw an example of an owl house sign with just the house number in this blog that Rosemary Hitchman painted a few months ago and wanted EXACTLY the same design for his home. - We don't usually paint exactly the same motif designs as we feel that each house sign pictorial should be individual to each customer and it would also become a bit boring for us artists to paint the same motifs all the time. however, on this occasion Rosemary tried to copy the original one as best as she could.
