A FEW OF MY PAINTINGS

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I enjoy taking an old photo of a house, barn, etc. and re-creating it. I do paint on canvas and any type of wood. A lot of the following paintings have been sold or given away. I can reproduce them but no two will ever be exactly alike. If you see something that interests you, please contact me. Thanks, noah

THE RAVEN

I was cleaning up my flower garden and my old whiskey barrel had begun to fall apart. I took the bottom wood, glued it back together with wood glue and nailed a long thick 2x2 on the back to help hold it together and hold it away from the wall. After a good sanding it was ready to paint on.

FOR ME

SADNESS

Found this neat piece of canvas with the twirled metal on top and bottom...it had an ugly messed up design on it. Perfect to restore and use.

OTHER THINGS

I didn't make this little cabinet, just refinished it.

My first attempt at painting this way. A bit off, but oh well.

I painted this rooster on this old, old cabinet and it now proudly sits in my kitchen.

This is a little wooden box, to look like a book.

My daughter, Katie loves Elvis, so the front is "Graceland", the back is "Thank You", the end/side has his lightening bolt on it, and the little drawer pulls out to keep secrets hidden away in.
