Bunny Feeder Build.

I recently built a bunny feeder per the cusomer's specs.  This is how it turned out.  I used Cedar wood with no stain.  The lid opens up on top to fill with hay.  The customer provided the bowls and the litter pan. The last photo is of the bunny enjoying its new feeding station.  It's nice to take a brake from painting and do a little woodworking.

Aged wood end table.

I had some old wood laying around.  It was well weathered and grey.  Makings for a great end table.  The addition of some old table legs from IKEA made the project complete.  I used a clear satin finish to bring out some color.  Now the table sits in the art room, for now.

Some More Sketchbook paintings.

These are some of my recent sketchbook paintings.  I feel free to paint whatever I want in my sketchbook.  When I look at a canvas I feel stressed to produce a masterpiece.  I don't care about mistakes or bad paintings when I practice.

A farm field.

A street scene I copied from a pinterest post.  I cant find the source to save my life.  I would have liked to put them side by side.  I think the original was much better.  If I find it I will put it up.
