Voices - on birch plywood

This is a little blurry, but it’s not like that in person. My scanner has a hard time with beeswax. I have thought about doing the scans before I put the wax on, but I want the depth of the layers to show as best as possible. So, I have to deal with a little blur.

“Miz Katie” is only on the photo, not the actual piece.

This a print, which I have hand painted with acrylic paint to give it depth. It has a painted feel when it’s touched, making it more like a painting than a print. I like that effect.

It has a white border attached around three edges. I also added glitter and gloss gel to make it shiny. It is sealed with beeswax.

I have two of these available. One is in my Etsy shop right now. And, the other is in my ArtFire shop. Each one differs from the other slightly because I hand painted them. The photo represents only one of the pieces.

Wash Day

His wife was at work. All his laundry was dirty. Good thing he knew his way around the laundry room. He threw a big ole load in the washer.

He, in his underwear, sat down and watched a bit of tv.

After the wash had finished its last spin cycle, he realized he had nothing to wear out to the clothesline. So, he borrowed his wife’s skirt and sweater. As he hung up his orange shirt, he glanced around to make sure no one was watching him.

This is a 6×6 print mounted on chipboard and sealed with beeswax. It’s made from a painting I did a few months ago. The original is not for sale, but you can get the reproduction in my etsy shop.
