New Painting

 

Here is my latest art work, A Fox Named Coyote. He is an artistic representation of the fox that haunted my neighborhood for several nights last winter. He kept waking us up in the middle of the night with a bizarre piercing scream. At first we thought it was a crazy person, but then we saw what we thought was a coyote walking down the road. It turns out it was a fox. The next night the fox woke us up again. This time he was sitting in the middle of the road in a viscous blizzard staring directly at us while screaming. We took this as an omen.

After googling folk lore on foxes we read that seeing a group of foxes is good luck, however seeing a lone fox is bad luck. Also seeing a fox near your house is an omen for death. This freaked me out, so I decided to create some art and hopefully break the curse. I wrote a song about the animal the next morning entitled Coyote Wind, and I completed this drawing a few months later. Sure enough after writing the song, the fox moved down the road the next night to haunt one of our neighbors.

About The Art

All the art on this site are original creations. That's right folks 100% handmade works of art. The paintings, and drawings are all one of a kind, no glecee prints or reproductions. In addition to the art, I hand-make all my stretcher bars for the works on canvas. I also hand-mat my works on paper, and hand-build the frames, or re purpose a retro frame acquired from one of the many estate sales I rummage through.

 

I don't put price tags on the artwork on my website because the price can vary from show to show depending on the commission. Prices run anywhere from $50 for a 8" x 12" photo to $1,800 for the larger oil paintings. Most of the works on paper sell between $200 - $900.
