I made this piece in 1999 from 7, 5 gal paint stirring sticks, Â½ of an old broom stick, Â½ of an old wood drawer pull, 2 brass grommets, a large piece of burlap, several feet scrap wood, and a piece of plywood. The wooden stars came out of my DWÂs craft supplies. The brass corners were removed from a crumbling tackle box. Robert Here is a link that might be useful:

No the beard is there Luvs! Just blends in with his shirt on the pic, but you can see the difference in person. ha Two different colors. Glad y'all liked them. These were rush jobs for sure to get everything done and work on the play. The play was more fun to paint on this time! ha I do babysit my 15 month old niece Sunnyca. The play is over now, but I still have lots of home projects to be working on. I loved painting on the stretched muslin backgrounds. Going to try to incorporate something like that in my boutique projects. Testing it out today although I said I wasn't going to paint again for a month after all the painting I have done lately. ha Thanks again. ~Anj

I just used regular acrylics and then sealed the crap out of it! lol You know me and my Uncle Sam obsession! lol This was actually a design for a pillow, but I have a big stack of tiles and thought...hmmmm. I know primitives are not everyone's taste, but I love em!

It was only about 8 1/2 x 11. It was a wall hanger. Glad you liked him. =) ~A

Anj, first of all I agree with all the other comments. Uncle Sam rocks! Did he sell and if so have you painted another one for yourself? Having the Boutique is a great way to keep up with your painting. My eyes don't like me painting as much any more. Same reason I gave up doing nails.
