Works by Judy Niewald up for limited time


From my personal collection - Painted by Judy Niewald
This was my personal experience of faith, a representation of the
Trinity:
The opening of the doors that block our way to the Father-(the keys to the door are on our side)
The freedom we find in Christ-(the image of Christ and the Cross reflecting on the walls)
The help along life's journey by the Spirit-(hard to see but the image of hands to help us down the road)
Oil by Judy Niewald

"Revelation 19"
Oil by Judy Niewald

"Precious is the blood"

These little vintage paintings are so wonderful:
Created by June Davis and hang just perfect with
this multi photo collage of my old family photo's
Be sure to watch our face book page the next view weeks as we will be doing several posts of these nice little Vintage oils with their stories.

TURNING TRASH INTO TREASURE


When my sister-in-law, after finding out that I collected Noah's Arch things, found me this very cute pillow to add to my collection, I was thrilled.   However, it didn't take long for my dog to find it and have some thrills of her own.  I always felt horrible for allowing my dog to destroy this nice gift, after only having it for a week.   I did not want to throw it away, so I would lay it on the couch with the corner conveniently hidden from site, but who (in their right mind) displays something that you are trying to hide!! 

Let's face it, it was now ready for the trash.
But, who says it had to be a pillow anyway!!!!!!

Chewed corner bottom lower right

I eventually cut it up, tossing out the stuffing and the unwanted fabric.

Cut  image from pillow and ready to frame
After choosing the perfect framing and a little work, the old pillow was transformed into a lovely piece of textile art.  It now it hangs in my guest room, which is where all of my Noah's Arch collection resides.  I actually like it better.  THANKS DIANE for giving me such a nice gift.  And THANKS BLUE (my wonderful Labrador retriever) for chewing it up, causing me to refurbish it into a showpiece.

WOW!!  What a great piece for the Noah collection!!

It now is a reminder of the thoughtfulness and love of a sister, and of my good old dog, who is no longer with us. 
We love you BLUE!!!!

What do you give a carpenter for Christmas?

When a client found a bunch of old rulers, she wanted to have her husband "the carpenter" make this frame.  There was only one problem, she wanted to give the frame to him for a Christmas gift.

She called me and asked if I could turn a bunch of old rulers into a frame?  I told her to bring them to me and I would give it a try.  After talking to her about her ideas, and giving her a few of my own, I began to work on the challenge ahead of me.
I looked them over to decide
 where they would be best located within the frame. Then I started cutting and glueing.

I used rulers as fillets in the mat openings.

I used rulers for the inside walls.





































One thing that I found fun as I worked on this was that the rulers were from places here in the Denver area.   As you can see, I put a ruler with "Denver Colo." along the top rail on the frame (see below).
Another thing I found fun was the phone numbers.  Notice the Spruce-9828 (bottom rail).  Anyone remember having phone numbers like that?
Finished with photos installed!
I sure hope this "measured" up to his standards, being a carpenter and all.  Whew!!!

Ginger Lecher's Art will be coming down January 7th.

We had a great turn out and many sales of her collection of works by herself and artists she admired.
It has been a great privilege having the gallery filled with her works the past few months as well as the times she showed in the past, and sadly we have to take them down.   They will be replace by new works by June Davis, Cindy Haase, and Virginia Unseld.

If you have not had a chance to come in now is the time to:  As we still have many of works on display.

THANK YOU GINGER, for giving us all such great memories, through your art.





These are a couple of her works that were bought the night of the show
and framed later with lovely framing to complement the masterful work of Ginger.






This one has sold!!

Just a few of the many works sold!!
