WoodArt by My Mom

she also loves painting saws, as I’ve mentioned before and will post one in my Picasa album sometime this week if I remember. It’s a BIG saw.

That’s really putting those fungus to good use, Almost all of the Birch trees on our land have this fungus. Thanks for sharing this beautiful art work.

Debbie, you need to get her to paint a saw for you to hang in your shop. Her work is very beautiful and she is truly a gifted woman.

Those are very nice. Now, we know which side of the family that you get all your talent from. I’m with, Obi…she needs to become a LumberJock!

hehe I don’t think that will happen :)
She did just figure out how to use a CD player though…..

I signed Rick up to make it to 500. I’ll let him know tonight that he’s now officially a lumberjock hahaa .

Neat! What are you sealing it with? I think I’d have to do a pretty hard sell to have something fungus related prominently displayed in the house…

I’m not sure what she seals it with. I’ll ask her tonight.

Fungus? Now I’ve seen it all.

she says that she uses “sizing’ and if you don’t seal it first nothing will stick to it.
Sizing: what you use before you paint or wallpaper for the first time.
When she is done painting she seals it again with a spray urethane.

Well… that’s… new.

Great paintings, and, dare I ask what inspired the choice of medium… or does fungus mean something different in “Canadian”? ;)

I found a fungus while hiking and thought it would be a great backdrop for a photo. It would have been if the photo had fit to the shape of the fungus better.
I’ll get the camera out and post my attempt at my vision.

I guess the fungus spoke to me :)

heheh I’m not sure what Fungus means in USA-ian. :)

Wow, does she paint from her head or does she paint by looking at something? Two hours to do one of these, she has unbelievable tallent!! I paint but it would take months to do something this well and I’d have to have some picture to at least get some ideas from.
