Beth Bale "The Cows" 12-31-12
"The Cows"
Beth Bale
Watercolor on Clayboard, 16" x 20" framed
$225
Beth Bale certainly has a way with capturing animals on canvas. Not only the spirit of the cows but also for the place they graze and the sky above which are depicted in pastoral detail and an interesting, pleasing mix of colors.

Shannon Bueker "Polar Bear Two" 12-30-12
"Polar Bear II"
Shannon Bueker
acrylic on canvas, 12" square
$150
I don't know about you, but I'd like to get in the same position as this peaceful sleepy bear. Isn't it time to hibernate? Shannon Bueker often uses unusual colors in her animal paintings, capturing emotion or movement seemingly coming from inside the animal rather than just as you would ordinarily see on the surface. This polar bear is actually white! -- well, white upon first look, but truly full of subtle variations and grays, browns, blues, mauves, etc. I love how the light shines on his head as if bringing sweet dreams. There is another painting of the same size, of another (or the same) polar bear standing. It would certainly look great on the same wall!

Sarah McTeer Ogburn "Wanderlust Traveler" 12-29-12
"Wanderlust Traveler"
Sarah McTeer Ogburn
Watercolor, Ink, Mica, Acrylic Edge on Fine' Fabric
18" x 24", $225
Often Sarah McTeer Ogburn's paintings feature the moon. This one has a prominent brilliant moon, a contemplative woman and several Indonesian fertility birds. Do you see the baby bird in her hand. Perhaps this is the result of the woman's fertile wanderings. I think that all is mystery and fantasy in Sarah's eyes. She draws us in and invites us to be a part of the painting's adventure.

Orlan Johnson "Handled Cutting Board" 12-27-12
"Handled Cutting Board"
Orlan Johnson
Variety of woods, ~ 8 1/2" x 13" + 3" handle
$69
Orlan Johnson's cutting boards are so popular that you may have one but did you know that they come in a variety of sizes. You could have one for bread, another for cheese, one for vegetables and still another for cutting meat thus using a different cutting board for each component of your meal. This one has a handle so it's especially easy to grab while you have bread or cheese in one hand and only one had available to bring the board to the counter. Be careful with that knife! And . . . you can get a matching wine stopper to bring to the New Year's party!
