Mixed Media on 16x20x1.5 Cradled Wood
$350
This is another mixed media piece from my thrift and antique store rummaging. The images and text were taken from the June 1946 issue of a magazine called “Hunting and Fishing.”
I have developed a fascination for researching who owned the books and publications that I use. This one proved another interesting story.
It is addressed to Richard K. Wood of Chattanooga. Turns out he was well-known outdoorsman and photographer, had a book written about him, and even had a photo credit in the magazine. While researching him I saw a discussion about him on the Facebook page, Picnooga, which is dedicated to vintage Chattanooga photos and history.

The Little Colonel - 16x20x1.5 Mixed Media on cradled birch. $350
I found a copy of “The Little Colonel” at an antique store recently. First published in 1895, this is the first in the series of books about Lloyd Sherman, the Little Colonel. The Shirley Temple movie of the same name was based on this story. This edition was printed in 1919, the 33rd edition, and not of much value as an antique book so I used it to make this mixed media piece.
What I fell in love with is the story of the six-year-old girl, Nelle Whitfield Duerson, who received this as a Christmas present in 1919 from “A.R. and Jimmie.” Like the little Colonel, she lived in Kentucky and was the same age. I did some research and found her obituary, which for some reason brought me to tears. She passed away in 2007 at the age of 94 having lived her entire life in Kentucky.

Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse - 16x20 - Mixed media on wrapped canvas. $185
This piece uses pages from old books that are from 30 to 170 years old! Makes a nice sepia tone effect.
I started “coloring” with paper in the 70s and 80s when I was a graphic designer. We would do a mock up or “comp” of ads and brochures by cutting the shapes out of big sheets of PMS ink printed papers. It had a smoother look than using markers. It was one of my favorite parts of the process.This was super fun and I already have another in the works!
