Letter samples from Jean

Going through boxes in my studio I came across the many paint samples I've saved over the years from Kmart's Martha Stewart paint line. I also found my copy of "Brush Lettering" by Marilyn Reaves and Eliza Schulte and thought I would finally put brush to paper. I like the contrast of the black letters on the color samples. I cropped them to a more square format but haven't decided if I will actually crop the samples.
