Maybe it’s just because it’s getting close to lunchtime, but these PB&J giclee prints by Duane Keiser really hit the spot! These quaint little sandwhich paintings seem remarkably “fresh” when compared to stale ‘ol fruit still life paintings found hanging in most kitchens. Deliciously detailed from the texture of the bread to the shines in the jelly, these prints make us feel like a kid again… not to mention pretty hungry!
Some artists swear by expensive art supplies, but Kristina Nelson proves that it’s not about the medium, but what you do with it. Using the same crayola crayons they use in kindergarten, she creates lovely and sophisticated works of art that are full of depth and detail. She began experimenting with crayons while she was an elementary teacher in Mexico and later studied with the master crayon artist Don Marco. Unlike Don Marco who’s best known for his crayon portraits, Kristina’s gallery features nature and still life drawings.
Visit Kristina Nelson’s Crayon Art Gallery to see more of her beautiful work.
When there’s someone really special that you want to honor a blown up print from kinkos isn’t going to cut it. You’ll need something really beautiful and original, like these hand carved wood portraits by Earth Dancer Designs. Each wood portrait is made from a solid piece of wood and takes a month of careful carving to complete. These incredibly detailed 3D reliefs measure about 15″x17″ and about 3-4″ high, making them pretty impressive pieces of work to hang over the mantle.
Visit Earth Dancer Designs for more custom hand carved wood items.
While so many artists find inspiration from the places they visit and the people they know, Julie Ellsworth finds it a little closer to home, specifically in the things she buys. Her work revolves around the contrast between consuming and creating. In her Consume Create collection of art she creates balance by painting the things she consumes into her home.
