Ship in the Sea

This is one of my latest woodburnings.  I started by burning in the ship onto a 16x20 piece of birch.  Then I filled in the background with tiny squares cut from magazines for texture.  Finally, I painted over the magazine squares with acrylic to create the blue sky and water.  I really love how this came out, and it is perfect for any New Englander who is a fan of the classic seascape.  This piece is currently for sale at the art gallery Zullo located in Medfield, MA.

Did you see something you liked at the Scituate Art Festival?

The holidays are quickly approaching, and we all have those friends and family members who are so hard to shop for!  A hand burned gift from Napier Woodburning is something they will be sure to love! If you saw something that caught your eye at the Scituate Art Festival, please send me an email at Napierwoodburning@yahoo.com!  I still have most items in stock; Elephant bowls for our elephant lovers (large and small, matching salad spoons available!), black bass bamboo cutting board for our fishing enthusiasts, zodiac coasters for our astrologists, plus much, much more!  Don't forget, I also do custom art.  So if you have that old family photograph or favorite vacation pic, send it my way for a quote.  I look forward to hearing from you!
