Artist's Comments

I painted this on a 20 inch metal sawblade I got from a sawmill in Kentucky. It took alot of work to sand and primer it. I put 3 coats of polyurethane on it after I painted it. I use acrylic paint but can paint with oils also. I love this painting and is probably my favorite one. It just seems to peaceful to me.

How beautiful, and inspired. Interesting that you would use a saw blade rather than canvas or paper. Very well done, though. You have much talent! Just wish it were a bigger picture so we could see the details.

Artist is the creator of beautiful things.

We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it. The only excuse for making a useless thing is that one admires it intensely…
All art is quite useless.

This is so fantastic.

Like, seriously. I'm in awe at how detailed and beautiful everything is. :heart:

How long did it take you to get the finished product, sanding/varnishing/etc included?

I enjoyed this one the most out of the 3 you showed because at first from only the thumb, I thought someone cut out a painting and stuck it on to a photo. I was surprised to see the actual full size image, and even more surprised to learn that it really is done on a sawblade. Everything about the painting is amazing - so full of life. I love the birch trees and mountains the most.

Thank you, I worked hard on it and it's my fave to. I was afraid of adding too much in it and having too much going on in the painting but it worked out fine for me.
