NO STOPS, Stencil Painted Enamel on Iron Sign abstract expressionist painting really a sweet little pieceI find the bold black stencil painted lettering against creamy white ground on this old sign very beautiful, framed perfectly with that painterly band of peachy orange across the top and angle of rust yielding to orange along the bottom.

Enamel on iron, with paint loss rust along
