Dorothy & the Tin Man Dorothy & the Tin Man….  I did this for a special showing at a gallery in Houston many years ago.  It was a delight to do,  but that Tin Man didn’t want to pose.  He was a stinker.  Kept looking the wrong direction,  falling over.  Just being a Tin Man,  I guess.  I thought I’d never get all those leaves glued on.  That’s right,  they are made of watercolor paper.  Don’t know where Dorothy lives now….xo PJ    folk art will make you look slimmer….

Those Men

These guys were fun.  They were in a magazine.  You could say they got around.  Didn’t matter where you put them,  they got attention.  I have a few I kept for my collection… wish I had  kept more.  But you know how men are… you can’t have ‘em all.  Yep,  I carved all of them out of redwood.  Use to love to carve that stuff.  Folk art will make you smile…. xo PJ

I love painting these.  The bright colors,  the simplicity, starkness.  They’re very bold, show up across a room.  Very different style for me.  And that makes it fun.  xo PJ  Folk art will make you better lookin’…
