shadowboxes

i recently framed 3 signed football jerseys. i used a 1.5" width roma moulding on each. either charcoal or brown w/ a grain finish. this profile has a rabbet depth of 2". this allows the walls of the frame to be lined w/ foamcore & matboard which hold the glass forward creating a 3-D box. the jerseys were secured w/ attach-ez. everything is acid-free & reversible. click the images for a close up.

"i'm just a simple man"

Dogwood Gallery & Framer has three new works from Bill Evans, who describes himself as a simple man, who loves landscapes. Each work is remarkably clean in subject and carefully rendered with extreme skill. The medium is colored pencil on bristol.

new works by Troy Crisswell

The paintings above arrived to Dogwood Gallery today from our friend & artist, Troy Crisswell.

Each is watercolor on heavy paper, about 24" x 18" & as yet unframed. Troy's paintings consistently intrigue me. Realistic illustrations surrounded by abstract washes & given the illusion of movement with sound brushstroke. ( the flipping of the newspaper or the bike's shadow movement on the floor as time passes ) please click the images for a closer look.
