Custom Unique Puzzle Painting - What a day for a new day.

2011-12-19T08:46:00.000-08:00

This puzzle painting is was created for a client.

The painting starts as one large piece.

The three smaller paintings in the first picture were the inspiration for the large piece.

The client requested the phrase "What a day for a new day" to be stamped on each of the final pieces.

Together the seven smaller paintings fit together to make the whole painting.

This represents the situation that brought the receivers together.

They will forever be connected through the power of art.

But also because get to go with this guy:

“The beauty in everyday things” “Along The Way” “Conspiracy”(3 Photographers with 3 different styles)
Carlander Family Gallery March 4^th – April 23^rd
Artist Reception March 4^th 5-7 pm
Loretta Verbout “The beauty in everyday things” – This show will include moments captured in time of everyday day sites that we normally pas by or do not give a second thought to, along with trying to look at things from a bit of a different angle. The majority of the works tend to be pictures of local nature, things from my own floral garden, and explorations of the nature of Minnesota, northwestern Illinois, southwestern Wisconsin, and northeastern/ east central Iowa.

Catherine Michele Adams “Along the Way” – Recently I toured the American South, Midwest, and Northeast. I found remote grottos, grand national monuments, street artists entertaining children, shopping center escalators covered in rubble, waterfalls, and the ocean. ”Along The Way” presents these sites and sightings in Vandyke brownprints, giving a glimpse on to the American way.

Laura Schenck “Conspiracy”- An exhibit of digital photographs of the seemingly unremarkable, sometimes ugly leavings of everyday life: rust and grime, deposits and stains, mildew and decay. Removed from the context of a clean and orderly world they reveal something quite unexpected: the art in accident and the ubiquity of beauty.
