Lauren Strom Art in the Wild

I am so pleased to have received this photo from someone who purchased the two tiny canvas paintings of the bear and the bunny from me during Art-A-Whirl this spring.  Isn't it delightful the way they've been included in this peaceful set-up?

I just adore it!

Please send me pictures of my art in your life.

Commission Week

Here's a sketch of a commission I'm working on this week.  

As you can see when you order a commission you can customize everything.

Your art can represent you 100 percent.

framed mini prints available just in time for art-a-whirl 2013

These are the mini frames I've been working on for the past few months.

Here are a few things I'd like you to know:

I had the frames handmade locally, in Maplewood.

I drew, edited, and printed the artwork in dancingfork studio.

My husband and sister helped nail the hangers on the backs of the frames while I stuffed them and attached their backs.  We had a fat bird assembly line.

9 are based on the likenesses of celebrated children's book authors and illustrators.

I'll have their books in the studio for art-a-whirl so that you can enjoy their written words.

3 are fat birds that I couldn't resist including.

They didn't write books, yet.

Don't miss art-a-whirl in the dancingfork studio:
