This is a small pastel portrait of a friends
adopted cat. She tells me that it is very
timid and mean.....I can't hardly believe that
a creature this beautiful could bite!

EMERGENCE OF ELEGANCE
My friend, Jayne, is a seasoned thrift store shopper. She has an
eye for what something can be, not what it is. On one particular day,
I agreed to take a quick run into one of the local thrift stores to see if we could find any gallery wrap canvas. We found two that measured 24" x 48".
Only one challenge was facing us....these canvases were already painted!
So we decided that our mission was to re-image the existing art by incorporating the existing art into something new and fresh.
The original canvas was a horizontal painting of a still life of oranges....
can you find them?

CELESTE, EMPRESS OF THE UNIVERSE
Meet Celeste, another member of the Whimsey family.
She is full of attitude and fun! She, too, is made from recycled
and repurposed parts.

SUZI Q, THE SUNSHINE GIRL
On a rainy, dreary day I was in the studio digging through a bin
of parts and pieces. Before I new it, Suzi Q came to life from the
recycled and repurposed parts. She has joined the Whimsey family!!!

SPINNING WHEELS
Just too much fun today with lots of junk! This
Whimsy is entitled " Spinning Wheels" because all of it's
circular parts still move. Stay turned for more members
of the Whimsy family.............

KEY TO MY HEART
This is one of my many "Whimsies" made from a collection
of recycled items.
This particular whimsy holds the key to my grandma's
old steamer trunk.
Do you have a small memento that you just can't bare to
throw away but have it stuffed in a drawer somewhere?
Why not contact me and have a custom whimsy made
just for you using your special memento?
Please email me at brinkleys4@aol.com
