Shameless promotion

John and Jen

I have to make some noise about an artist I know quite well. He is truly the Renaissance Man. Earning a Bachelors in Fine Arts and a Masters in Art to teach science, he produces wonderful creations. His expertise ranges from Painting to making Furniture. And I do mean furniture the old school way. Well made and beautifully chosen woods that will last a lifetime and more. I have a few of these and cherish all of them. As we well know most Artists are not famous in their lifetime. However he is too much of a treasure not to share. His name is John and his link to his blog is below. If you need a nice wood rolling pin or candlesticks visit his link  for his blog.  johnhunterdesigns

He has an  Etsy shop here

They are always your children

No matter how old they are , how responsible and productive , you always remember them as your children. A great visit with John and Jen a week ago. Someone was kind enough to snap this picture with Hidden lake in the background . It was great to see both of them !

John teaches science and Jen teaches music. John also has some wonderful artistic talents. http://johnhunterdesigns.com/2012/08/06/getting-back-to-work/  is a link to his blog and shows some of his work in wood ( furniture) and his painting !
