To celebrate the holidays, we've decided to post a photo of a work of art (available for sale in our studio/gallery) each day between December 1st and 24th.

Isn't this carved and painted wood piece by Doug Dorken fantastic? Doug is from Chester, Nova Scotia and he always infuses a little bit of humour into his wildly colourful folk art pieces.

About the artist:
Doug Dorken skillfully carves his relief sculptures from single pieces of wood so that figures and landscape seem to emerge from within. Depending on the piece, he may use kiln-dried pine, poplar, or "sea-seasoned" wood to create his carvings. Following in the footsteps of his shipwright father, Doug took up carving in1994 after retiring from a career in the navy.
