Thanksgiving Magnet

I love the image that I used on this Thanksgiving Magnet! I think that my very favorite style of art is 'Nostalgic'. My favorite artists are Norman Rockwell, and Gil Elvgren. I absolutely love the feeling and humor that their paintings evoke. Although I am a HUGE fan of photos, and am thrilled with the advances that photography has made over the past century; I think that it is a shame that advertisements and magazine covers have stoped using Nostalgic art almost completely. I know there will always be a place in my heart for Nostalgic art. For me its like looking at life and history through a rose coloured glass, as it has a way of romanticizing everything.

I made this altered CD for an American friend.

Scrapbooking on the Wall!

Here it is! Finally, yesterday, I made time to sit down and put together this art canvas! I completed it in one sitting, but it did take nearly all day. ;)

I used lots of different textures, cork, burlap, canvas, raffia, chipboard, wooden letters, and yes, even wheat! I absolutly LOVE how it turned out. The canvas messures 20" X 24".
