More {Cowboy Toys} Artwork for the Cowpokes…
At the 23rd Brookside Arts Festival {Brookside is one of the fabulous neighborhoods that makes Kansas City so special - don’t miss it if you’re in our neck of the woods!!} I came across Larry Stephenson and his colorful watercolors of TOYZ!!
The cowboys were my favorite, of course, but the trains got a nod from Wyatt {#1} when he was with me in Brookside - no surprise there.
I also loved the fishing lure {BELOW} that is on Larry’s website. As I emailed with Larry about this BLOG, and then spent some time on his website, I was touched by Larry’s apparent devotion to his wife and three grown sons. They love to fish and go on big adventures together which is AWESOME and totally inspiring!!
Larry offers glicees of his original art work - an affordable way to begin an art collection and also perfect for a kiddo’s room.
If, however, you are looking for an original from Larry Stephenson then check out the three pieces {BELOW}. According to Larry, “All have been done within the last three weeks. They are framed inside shadow boxes and I include the actual antique lead toys that I used for models to paint the paintings. The “Yee Ha!” painting has actual confetti that I made and painted floating down from the sky. When framed the cowboy and lead cactus were included.”
All of this wonderfully clever and colorful art will all be available for you to check out in person this weekend at the Prairie Village Art Festival {be sure to stop by one of my favorite KC stores, Curious Sofa, when you’re down there!!}
