It Has Eight Legs!

Hi. I just wanted to share a picture of this octagonal frame I made for a Honduran women's blouse. There is a mirror mounted in the center where the head/neck hole is.

Also, we are getting new art in this week. So keep an eye on my window or come by and say "hi."

Book Cover Art

Here's a recent work I did for author, Janis Kearney. This is a portrait of her father for her most recent work which is a biography of his life. It will be included in the cover art for the book. This was a fun assignment. I especially liked working in the sepia tones. I found his hands the most interesting part. Janis had taken a photo of him at home. We both thought this pose was striking and thought provoking. The piece is in acrylic on a 16x20 canvas.

The LEGO Frame

Here's an excellent idea from Casey Cox, one of my long-time customers. Her boy enjoys spending hours constructing LEGO block creations on the floor. Now he can build on the wall as well.

I assembled this LEGO board frame from 9 building plates attached to a masonite backing and surrounded with a wood frame. This will be fastened directly to the wall with screws for a stable building platform.

The building plates are available in a variety of colors directly from LEGO. These can be combined in any combination with the frame moulding of your choice to create your own Legoland!
