Sandbox Brigade and Race Day - by Derek Cadena

Here are two new pieces from my toy series.  I love the green toy soldiers! I want to paint more of them... I sold the original Sandbox Brigade, along with Race Day, to a fantastic collector in Washington D.C.  Thanks, Christopher!

Although these two originals have sold, prints are available in our Etsy store!

Garden Planning - by Brent Rodgers

If only I had these classy ladies to help me design my dream garden!  "Garden Planning" is the latest image from my Fruitville Series. The background is from the beautiful Paulino Gardens, and, I have to say, some of my favorite childhood memories are going there with my Mother.  I still visit Paulino's every year, spending lots of money on lovely plants that may or may not survive. There's a learning curve to gardening...

How 'Bout Them Apples -

Brent and I worked on this piece together, it's a mix of photography, drawing, and painting.  We didn't have to go far to find inspiration for this illustration. Our apple tree is dripping with bright red fruit and the backyard smells like hard cider. Most of the tree has wormy apples, however, I picked a big bag of pretty unblemished apples that will be perfect for worm-free pies and other treats.

Here's the link to our etsy store for a 6" mounted print version of "Delicious"

Sparky the Chipmunk Seeks Fame

Sparky was very interested in our group hiking near Fraser, CO. He would scurry in circles around a rock chattering at us, then he would stop and hold a pose for the cameras. He did this several times! He clearly wanted fame and his camera hogging seemed rather desperate, however, we indulged Sparky's fantasy. He is now immortalized in art.

Although a friend of ours bought the original Sparky painting at our last show, I believe little Sparky will return in the near future.  We have created a fame monster!  

8" mounted prints of Sparky are available in our etsy store.

The Goose Tamer - Whip it good

The Goose Tamer is a new mixed-media acrylic photo transfer original that Brent and I both worked on. We showed this Joe for the last First Friday art walk.  Brent spent a day at the park rolling in crap to photograph the image that was used to make this piece... I hope you like it. Mounted 8" prints available on etsy and ebay!

Pigeon Fancy!

Experimenting with our new camera while enjoying a lovely after Thanksgiving dinner bike ride.  I noticed a flock of pigeons perching on a local water tower.  They become a point of inspriation and Pigeon Fancy was born.  Let me know what you think and if you are intersted in a little Pigeon Fancy for yourself, she is on sale here!
