I offer these 3-D creations for your viewing pleasure and enjoyment. I began combining my oil paintings with sculpted scenery and miniature models of stage coaches and western towns about two decades ago, and then as time went by, quit making them. Then as I was preparing a cast iron skillet to be turned into a hand painted wall clock, I spun the pan around and low and behold...a lip. Now I can paint on the pans inside and build a scene (small as it may be) on the lip giving the finished project a three dimensional appearance. Who would have thunk ! I will soon begin working on two larger "wild west" dioramas that will be for sale as display pieces, and have hopes of creating some "civil war" art work also.
