"Liberty Bear"

Original acrylic painted on antique cutting board

$220

I love this painting of an old antique teddy bear showing his patriotism by holding an American flag. The wood grain and markings on this antique cutting board really enhanced the worn look of this painting. It is painted with acrylics, sanded, stained and coated with varnish. There is a wire on the back for easy hanging. This would look great in any room of the house! (the ©teresa kogut is a watermark on the photo only, it is not on the original painting) If you prefer to pay by check, please contact me for my mailing address.
When I was growing up, my brother and I played with the neighbor kids in the trees and fields behind my parent’s house. We would spend hours and hours playing cowboys and indians, cops and robbers…..we would build forts and tree houses……only coming home to eat or use the bathroom……..I was a major tom-boy!
My parents still live in the same house where we grew up and now the fields have "grown up" too. There are many more trees, the apple trees we use to climb are gone and there are grape vines growing among the trees creating a sort of canopy. Now we have the pleasure of watching our kids play and build in the same fashion we did. I hope you enjoy these photos of Ryan and his cousin Chris in their "camp" that they built along with Kyle and Tayler.
USA punchneedle embroidery
This is my latest punchneedle creation. My distributor, Norden, is going to a trade show in June so I am working on new designs. I will share them with you as I get them done and the patterns will be available in June.
"Life in your Years"
copyright Teresa Kogut
This is a work in progress…..hoping to work on it again this Saturday and get it done. It is another acrylic folk art painting with an Abraham Lincoln quote. Whether I get it finished this weekend or not I will post another picture of it early next week.
I am working during the week toward meeting deadlines for my licensees. I am designing products for a trade company and then onto Halloween and Christmas fabric lines for Marcus Fabrics. Also painting several Christmas images over the next month or so for gift bags and cards.
Deacon Dan Kogut & Bishop Boyea
Our nephew was ordained as a Deacon this past Saturday at St Roberts in Flushing, Michigan. One more year of studying and he will be ordained as a priest. The music & choir was amazing…….it sounded as if Jesus himself was going to walk down the aisle. It was joyful, triumphant and majestic. The entire mass was moving. Seeing Dan and two other young men dedicating their lives to the church in order to serve the people and do God’s will is awe inspiring. Congratulations Dan! We (and so many others) are proud of you!
Well, here goes nothin’! I have been "blogging" on my website for over a year now but there are certain things I cannot do using that format (such as adding videos) so I thought I would give this a try. I will still offer products for sale through my website (I will announce & link to my website when I have new products for sale) but I want this blog to be more intimate……so welcome. Please be patient while I figure out just how to work this format.
