Hand Painted Wooden Boxes

Posted Sep 23, 2021, 1:54:01 PM UTC

Yeah, been doing a lot of painting this past year, seems to help me ground myself when things are bad. Now some 50 boxes in since Feb, kind of lost count. These ones I did in about 2 weeks in Aug (had someone close to me pass away). Hand Painted in Acrylic and clear coated inside and out, most I felt the bottoms on. People ask how I can be so prolific when I'm hurting, I think it's the same thing as when people compose music during difficult times in their lives. It's the only way to get through the pain without it consuming you. Redirect it.

    These are so beautiful. Sorry to hear that they’re the product of hard times.

    hi there, I'm very sorry to hear you are going through a difficult loss, it adds a sad beauty to those boxes. Speaking of, they are incredible and each one of the motifs is so unique.

    Given your grief I'm not sure if i should ask, but do you take commissions?

      Thanks, you've always been a good friend. Smile Just seems things over the last few years have been a real mixed bag of extreme highs and lows. If I'm having a rough time I always seem to channel it into massive amounts of artwork. It's always seen me through, and glad or have an Etsy shop so have an outlet for all of it. Or I'd be buried in boxes, gourds, sculpts, leather work and all manor of stuff. I know, that probably sounds a bit sad... But on the flip side, made enough finally to buy a new shop! It showed up late though...It does work out, but sometimes the costs seem so extreme.
      Anyway, I'm still taking commissions even through all this. It helps keep me grounded. What did you have in mind? I do ship physical goods international, but shipping costs are crazy and expected to get worse with the holidays.
