Over the past few weeks artisans laboured to change the surroundings of the building (H.U.B.) that houses the Four Door Arts Forum. They planted a vegetable garden, fruit trees, lilac bushes, cedars, various plants and flowers on the 3.3 acre grounds.
The art of landscaping begins with a vision then confidence, courage and character is required to see the job through.

Four Door Arts Forum was commissioned to design a sign on a used 4.5′ saw blade with an artistic image of “the old homestead”. The original homestead has been turned into a 100 year heritage site. Below is the progress that followed.

With a splash of color, these custom built boxes keep foods hot or cold while being transported from one location to another.
A posting of painted images around the exterior of the boxes will be at a later date.
Personalizing cherished memories, is possible with customized artwork. In this case, hummingbirds were the selected choice.
Hummingbirds are small, colorful birds with iridescent feathers. Flapping their wings about 80 times per second, a humming sound can be heard. With the ability
to fly in various directions such as: right, left, up, down, backwards, and even upside down, these tiny birds are interesting to watch.
These boots were made for painting…
Before being discarded as useless the artist carefully studied the historical and romantic intent of this old, worn out cowboy boot. Who knows the life it has lived, the places it’s been, the people there, the adventure experienced. The mystery will remain with the artfully painted and decorated boot and the one who wore it.
These recycled boots have various purposes as interesting pieces of art. The ideas are unlimited; planter, holder of various items, vase, coffee table, decoration, trophy, shelf ornament, paper weight, conversation piece, bookends, dress up a corner… either way, they are unique.
With the flow of a steady hand, and an eye for detail, each fine-tipped brush stroke reveals part of an exquisite image.
Painting on a wooden surface requires a little research, as the absorption rate of the paint can vary in relation to the natural wood selected. Notice how the paint chosen below brings forth a colorful image.
The art of wood-burning as another
form of medium, allows images to be etched into the surface, creating a new dimension.
