2.  Frogman - Collectible Bronze Frogs

 

These highly collectible bronze frogs are just pure fun.  The Frogman's design and innovative patinas really make these frogs stand out.  Tim Cotterill, also known as Frogman, was born in Leicester, England, in 1950.  He left school at the age of fifteen to complete a six year engineering apprenticeship.  Intrigued with metalworking, Tim created radical wheeled vehicles and metal sculptures of animals and birds during the '70s and '80s.  His original steel, bronze and gold bird and animal sculptures are in art collections throughout the world.  Tim immigrated to California in 1990 where he has since devoted himself solely to the creation of his unique bronze sculptures.  Tim's work is now represented in fine art galleries world-wide.  Sorry no discounts are available on any Frogman pieces (this is a strict Frogman policy, not ours).  Free shipping through May 15, 2011.

 Pointillism

 

Shulak's pointillism paintings are a long labor of love.  Some of her pieces took over a year to paint.  Her pointillism paintings are the most valued and rare.  Due to an injury, she can no longer paint pointillism due to the tedious nature of the technique.  She can still paint other techniques.  In 2007 one of her pointillisms sold at auction for $8,365.  We only have 3 of her pointillism paintings left.  This painting is currently at auction with Heritage Auction.  Just click on the image to go to the auction if you'd like to bid.

 

Rita Shulak is a juried artist who has won first place in several major art competitions.  Her other painting styles include palette knife, brush, washes, dry brush and glazes.  Her media includes oil, acrylic and watercolor.

Orange Crush by Clark Little
  

A family came in on a very busy Saturday and fell in love with Clark's work.  After much discussion, they decided from a very small Orange Crush that they wanted a very large one. The inquired if we could get it larger, much larger nearly five feet by six feet.   

  Yes we can.  We can get any Clark Little in almost any size.

(This is the best part)

 

Hi, I need your help!  Recently there have been a lot of "cat" bowls finding new homes and I can't bear it if word gets out that Mr. Bo Jangles' business is mainly cat bowls.  I'm not sure I'd be able to show my face at the beach with the 'guys' anymore.  I've pleaded with Mom to stop getting them in - to no avail.  So please stop buying cat bowls or anything cat related at all for a while.  Feel free to acquire as much dog stuff as you'd like but let's just keep the cat stuff to an absolute minimum for now.  Thanks for your help!
