Description
I saw this lovely shop window and loved the colorful, organized chaos of stained glass, whimsical nutcrackers and the other fascinating things one finds at an antique store! I rearranged some of the pieces, and added a few I needed (like Nipper and the antique bicycle out front) and worked on this for 6 weeks! I especially love the "chef" nutcracker holding a turkey, and of course, the Davy Crockett nutcracker, and ALL the amazing stained glass! Original was drawn with Prismacolor pencils, white/black gelly roll pen on some highlights and details, prismacolor colorless blender pens, on 16x20 Arches bright white 140 lb cold press watercolor paper.

Your right. We have them here, but I never saw one that compelled me to keep looking at the beauty of this Richmond shop up the street from where we were spending a weekend. I walked up the street and just stood there mesmerized at least 4 times that weekend! Finally took some pictures and decided I'd try to recreate the charm it made me feel when I got home. Thanks so much!

I adore this wonderful creation dear Kathy, and such incredible attention to detail! It makes me miss shops like this, there aren't many around here where I live. It's sad how all the mom & pop shops, family owned businesses have simply disappeared. Beautiful, nostalgic and happy art!!

Thanks Hanne!! It was SO much fun to pick and choose which pieces from the actual windoe that I thought I could reproduce, and then search for two pieces of my own and the bike out front!! One of my favorites to actually be "in the process" with since each little piece completed was a finished picture! :)
