It’s wood day in the Quilts & Creativity Art Week. I’m featuring works of art from the Big Canoe Fine Art show in honor of my own art quilts that are on display at the Ann Litrel gallery in Woodstock. Previously I featured sculpture and glass.
The wood pieces in the Big Canoe Fine Art show ranged from furniture to instruments to models, and they were intricate, superbly-crafted, and sophisticated in design and theme.
The sideboard shown above housed beautiful stained-glass inserts in the doors, and the sides of the sideboard had concave curves instead of straight lines. Not easy to do.
More pieces from the show:
Twig chair with leather seat and carved back.
Hand-carved barnyard and barn.
Exquisite armoire with burled wood.
Funky vanity with working soap dish and drawer.
Beautiful chest with hand-forged iron detail.
My favorite piece: a handcrafted mandolin, lovely to see and hear!
And a sneak peek at tomorrow’s quilt day from the show: two Gee’s Bend quilts in a study with a desk that has a propeller in the top.
Quilt show this week at Ann Litrel gallery. My talk is tomorrow, July 3rd, at 7p.m. Friday Night Live in Woodstock runs from 5-9p.m. and it’s Beach Party-themed this month. See you there!
