a new design...


(an update: only 11 are still available - thanks you guys!!)

finally...a new design is here! this is a piece that i've wanted to do for more than a year and i'm happy to say that i'm already happy with the 'almost' finished piece...

the original i'm dating 1880-1930....for i'm having to guess here by the colors that were used...my 'adaptation' is on the drying racks and as soon as i'm done i'll add a picture...but until then, here is the original piece...



i have added black lines in place of the white lines - i do like the white lines, but i just have to have some black to make it me....and that also pulls in the dark molding that i traditionally use...

there will only be 20 available - as you know i'm limiting all future designs so that i have more 'open creative' time to doodle in the studio...
it is 19" x 19" so will work if you have a collection - and is $220.00 + shipping...


the piece goes unnamed at this time....it hasn't come to me by naming itself, maybe next week....
but it was a very difficult piece...the design is simple to the eye, but the freehand sizing of the circles and the added freehand painting was honestly very difficult, even for a painter...my guess is it took at least 4 hours of constant painting - much more than any of the other pieces that i've done in the past...another good reason to have a 'small edition' on this piece...!

Hi Diane!
I've been watching to see what you would come up with & would really like to order the new board. I know I'll like it...love the colors and am glad you'll be adding some black.
