You have done a great job nice stuff. I was thinking of something like you have done in the picture but wasn't sure how I would attach the heads/horns. Looks good!

If you are talking about the painting (small House) that has those horns hanging beside it? That is a painting I had done of my grandpa/grandma homesteaded house. The framing of that picture is from the trim of that old home. No power no running water they lived there till very late in life.

That is a great piece of art. I have a similar picture of the house my great grand dad was born in, but it’s just a photo, shortly before it was gone. Your painting looks so close. Amazing work by the artist.

I kind of always cherished that picture and the wood frame came from the trim of that old house. It had 3 rooms and they raised 7 children but not sure how. Some hard times in those years. LOL


This also was painted from a photo.

Down in the hood someone was demolishing an old home, picked up 11 of these doors for cheap......
Will bootleg them into my home and the rest I'll use to make a bookcase....
Thinking they will make great vintage looking lodge style doors....
