Happy Diwali from Lynne Gurnee

This is so wonderfully happy! The dancers are hand-colored on hand-made fancy paper. The brown "ground" is a wasp nest Lynne repurposed! And the butterflies are actually tiny booklets--look at the next picture! Lynne, you're so original! Love it!…

David Stanley Aponte's Hand-Painted Postcard

I really love the textural quality of this paint. The scenes behind the paint have a wonderful industrial feel to them, and the stripes evoke the American flag -- lots of symbols here if you want to look at it that way, or just beauty to enjoy.…
