7 deer

OK.
I'm still painting.

I have to do another.

Natural foods TeeShirt

I'm experimenting with Zazzle.

They've done excellent work for the Public Domain Review

and I wonder what they would do with one of my drawings.

So, here, for a TeeShirt of your choosing,

hopefully I've set it up correctly,

is a Natural Foods Only drawing (with a cell phone), 

and one with a regular phone.

I know the words are a little hard to read on their site,

when you want to see what you're getting,

so I typed them into the description.

I want to believe their capabilities will carry my work.

So, we'll find out!

Where one might see eagles.

This is one of the places in Sauk where one would see eagles, 
if the eagles were around.

Jane Wilcoxson Studio features Linda Kelen

In addition to

a fine set of my wood prints,

and a selection of my chased/repoussed metals, 

the following three paintings will be at the  
Jane Wilcoxson Studio, 

in Mineral Point,

December 5th for Mineral Point's Gallery Night

through December 23rd.

8"x8", oil on linen, Peach Tree

8"x8", oil,  WearyTraveler

8"x8", oil, Monkey

I forgot to take a picture of these new ones 

when they were completed this morning. 

Now there are seven all signed, dated and numbered.

I've got to remember to take photos before they go out the door!

Here's the best my cell phone could do of 6 of the 7 in the gallery.

Small Oil Paintings

One of these three is going to be offered up to the
Spring Green Area Arts Coalition.

chased, repoussed, honeybee in progress

Wondering how to finish a few pieces,

I began experimenting with an unfinished honeybee.

Needless to say,
I got carried away into a completely different direction.
There will be more.

chased and repoussed things

Fish on bikes 

showed up in my Cross Plains Road Construction Survival Map, 

and so, 

in answer to requests for them to be REAL, 

I've been busy.

There will be more.

The houses are 7/8" wide and 2" long,

with a homemade pin back I fashioned with spring wire.

I"ll get better photos a little later.
(I changed the look of this one with some new chemistry. 
The previous photo is more like what it is. 
I just have to learn how to take better pictures of shiny things)

Right now I'm just fired up about what these are!!

Yes, there will be more chasing/repousse of something.

FALL ART TOUR !

The Cedarburg Art Museum now has a selection of the small whiteline prints.

 
This year, I'm Artist # 21 on the FALL ART TOUR.

Since 27 of my works are in the 
Cedarburg Art Museum 
until November 8th when the show closes,
I printed little bits of the more detailed blocks
just for this weekend.

8" X 8" painting

I'm way overloaded.  I wasn't thinking, and agreed to do an 8" canvas 

for Mineral Point's Shake Rag Alley Art Lottery in the Lind Pavillion.

So I did one painting.

Not what anyone probably wanted,

but if I'm doing it for free, to give away,

for someone to be assigned it

as their prize for buying a $50.00 ticket

whether they want it or not,

I'm doing what I feel like at that particular time.

Well,

I couldn't see giving it away.

Not this one.

Not to be a prize for someone who may not want it,

condemning it to a garage nail on a dark wall

where mice might nest on the stretcher

between canvas and wall, 

until years later the pissed stained canvas aroma

results in it being tossed into the bottom of a cardboard box

that will carry a leaky garbage bag to the dump

protecting the car trunk from being

saturated with the seepy composting juices

and to be tossed out with the trashes??? 

Nope.

I'm keeping this one.

So, I painted another one.

Damn.

Can't give this one away either.

So, after learning that the Lind Pavillion is because of John Lind, 

now feeling a NEED to offer up something if only for him and Carla,

on September 30th, on a third 8" canvas,

I challenged myself to paint one in the time left between 2PM and sundown.

I did it.

I will give this one away.

It exists solely to be given away

to be the prize for someone who bought a $50.00 ticket.

I attached a note telling the tale of why it exists

and stated that if the new owners find they do not enjoy my painting,

they should contact me.

I will be happy to take it back! 

(OK, yes, I still have a hard time letting go of my works.)

drawings

Two are framed and hanging in the show at CrossRoads Coffeehouse, 

in Cross Plains, Wisconsin through September 10th.

The others are growing in numbers safe in my drawers.

Yes, the road construction has become unbelievable, but it's quite managable.

I'll try to update my Road Construction Survival Map 

so you can get there 

without fear of being headed to Canada, 

scooped up by machines, 

or lost forever in the Caverns of Hwy 23.

The others are beginning to grow in numbers in my drawers.

Drawings for CrossRoads Coffeehouse show

Framed and being delivered to Crossroads Coffeehouse in Cross Plains, Wisconsin for their next art exhibit.
More information coming.

Fourth of Four New Whiteline Wood Prints

I wanted to have four new prints for the Cedarburg Art Museum show.

Here is my artist proof of number four.

Measures about 9" x 24", 

and photographed on the block, which is why it's not square.

Woodblock Print #1 of Arena

It's done. 

This is one which will be in the Cedarburg Art Museum show.

Small Dog Whiteline Prints #3 & #4

The fourth print has been waiting on the block to be completed

Today I completed it.
