Wild Eyes Have Ears

 

Wild eyes have ears is a 1930's-40's Bent wood Hi-chair. I painted this chair to look like a Saguaro cactus tree. Like many of the cactus in my area this one has a hole, from other birds looking for bugs to eat, the cactus will heal itself leaving a pocket like hole where small owls like my pigmy owl can start a family. I placed a Lizard on the foot brace on the front part of the chair it is in the likeness of a Desert Spiny Lizard. The flowers and other 3D elements are made of paper clay I make here at my home in Southern Arizona and where I get much of my inspiration. The paint is acrylic, I then sealed it with a spray on clear gloss finish to help protect it. The owls beak protrudes about one half inch off the back but I think it could still be fully functional as a Hi-chair.

Art Chair GILIA NIGHTS

I am in the process of making six art chairs for this years fall/winter season in Tubac Arizona, for the Tubac Center of the Arts Holiday Artisan market. This is the first one completed I call it Gila Nights it features a pair of pigmy owls living in a cactus tree "saguaro" a lounge lizard aka Desert Spiny Lizard with a hilly scene dotted with cactus trees and ocotillo's. The seat has a Gila monster and stylized flowers and a prickly pear plant in the top corner. I painted this using acrylic paints and sealed it with a gloss lacquer finish.

SOLD

I played around with layers of color on their faces I like the depth it adds almost a realism that bring them to life. I payed attention to detail and added my own bit of zing to them, hope you like them as much as I do.
