Here is an vintage saw I painted with acrylics in early 2001. It was a Christmas gift for our Papa and Daka. As you can see--I've always painted faces into my artwork.
Here is a bit more detail. As you can see there are faces hidden in the sky.
A face in the mountains...
Trees, sky and mountain--with their hidden treasures.
And still more faces to find...
Here is another glimpse into my sketchbook. I call this graphite drawing, Ocean Robes.
My reference photo is above--this is our lovely Emily in a photo I took last January.
Thank you so much for dropping by! Have a lovely day, sweet Friends! Happy Paint Party Friday!

Wow that painting on the saw is so intriguing and mysterious. The format lends itself so beautifully to a panoramic view. Happy PPF
Wonderful work again Beth, that saw is a dream! Valerie
This is my first sight of a painted saw. It's intriguing how the pointed edges add a new dimension. It's an astonishing artwork and the scene and faces are so beautifully integrated.
I always admire your pencil sketches and what a clever artwork you are able to make from the original, like here where you turn the fur into a wrap of flowers.
wow the painted saw is totally brilliant and love the sketch as well.
Happy PPF, Annette x

Your sketchbook is lovely-it reminds me of the old Wizard of Oz books from the 20's.
Never in my wildest dreams would I ever think to alter a saw. Incredibly beautiful!
the altered saw is amazing, but I scrolled back up for a second look at that sketch... amazing line work...xx
The saw is really beautiful, and so is your sketch. I especially liked the sea theme.
I'd love to have a saw like that on my wall! and that sketch hidden in my notebook :)

The saw, the faces! Wow, that is really cool! But my favorite is that Ocean Robes, wow! Beautiful detail!
Your work is beautiful. I would never have thought to paint on a saw. How creative!!
The painting theme and the saw work so beautifully together, and lovely illustration too. I agree, painting directly on the saw makes it so intriguing!
All of it is so pretty! My brother in law used to paint on saws. Love the idea of faces in everything. You are so talented! Hugs! deb

Such a fascinating idea to paint a saw!! I've never seen something like that before, awesome!
Such an unusual idea to paint the saw, it is so beautiful that I guess the saw is never used after beeing painted. Happy PPF!
