I was fortunate to be asked to provide two longboxes for a project by one of the great members here.....and did I jump at the opportunity. Have not been exposed to any of Kelly's work at that time, but saw a sample or two prior to making the boxes. We decided to make the boxes as plain as plain --to give Kelly all the area she could use.....we each talked briefly with the ARTIST to kinda give her an idea of what we each were looking for ....and left the rest up to Kelly. All gifted artists can talk to someone and get the jest of the artwork they need to portray, and boy did Kelly nail it--they say ...."hammer meets nail" so to speak.
We are graced with a number of very talented burner/artists here on this site, and we now have another to add to the group. Kelly is one VERY talented lady, and I am proud these two noisemakers of mine proudly wear her artwork--she took the calls to a new level to me and the other owner. Kelly, this call will proudly be displayed along my other cherished calls thanks to your talent. Thanks to a great member for providing me the opportunity to work with Kelly on this project. I really look forward to working more with you Kelly in the future...you are a VERY TALENTED artist *bowing* *bowing* *bowing*

Thanks Jeff! I'm glad you are happy with the artwork.Have you spotted the UFO in the background yet?(just kidding). I had fun doing them. The cherry and butternut were easy to work with. They look really good now with the finish on. Thanks to you and the other member for having me do this on your awesome boxes.Can't wait to do some more!!

The detail in the artwork is simply awesome, Kelly your work is simple outstanding, you fouled me good with your owl painting cause I thought it was a picture instead of a painting.
Please continue to share your talent with us here at Osage Roost! *up* *up*

Serious talent there. You both did a great job.

Beautiful work on two fine calls

Congrats to the both of you, Very fine work!

Kelly, as an obvious professional illustrator/artist your work speaks for itself and I admire how fast you have so quickly adapted with the wood burner. The wing feather is without a doubt the finest feather I have seen anyone do, I am especially drawn to the subtle, but highly effect shading technique you have used to give it such three-dimension. I also really like the woodland scene with the gobblers fighting and last, the flying turkey in the last image couldn't be better IMO.
Jeff, you have some serious treasure here!
-
Wow you both are over flowing with Talent!! Thanks for posting. *up*
