Folding Screen project finished!


                                                  "The FOUR SEASONS"  SOLD                                                                 

 For one of my pieces in this years Prix de West show at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, I did four paintings depicting Native Americans in the four seasons... I came up with a folding screen design and hired Timothy Holton of Holton Studio Frame Makers in Berkeley, CA to construct the 4-panel screen to house the paintings; each oil-on-panel painting is 36 x 20".

 

 I wanted a simple Craftsman style look, and Tim nailed it with dark-stained, quarter-sawn oak and gold leaf trim. The panels are connected with antique-style hinges complete with flat head screws! Overall measurement is 69" high by 97" wide when fully extended...

                                                            

 The screen can fold out totally flat as a wall display (although it IS heavy), stand on it's own in a zig-zag fashion or completely collapse for storage...it is a fully functioning piece of heirloom furniture AND a collection of western art originals as well -- a fine addition to any Arts and Crafts decorated home~






  I'm really looking forward to this years show as I was injured last year and couldn't make it -- hope to see you there June 9th & 10th, 2023!
