Life is Just a Long Road Trip!!

Ready to Roam

original block print, signed & numbered

matted to 8 x 10

Two of my current fav adventures are camping in our little airstream and making art.  When I can combine the two it's nirvana.  I made several sketches of our "Flying Pig II" trying to simplify it.  Then I transferred the drawing to a rubber block and began to carve out what I did not want to print.

Several tries later I came up with a piece that satisfied me.  Matted, it fits easily into a standard 8 x 10 frame and is perfect for anyone who loves the call of the open road.

 This small jewell is priced at only $15.00 so I can spread some love while they last.  It will arrive in the mat ready to frame. Shipping and handling adds another $5.00 to the total price.  You can read my story about using this art to make new friends here.

Want one of your own or one to gift? Email me at: art@cindymichaud.com
I'll ship one out and invoice you through PayPal.  Let's spread some art love this summer.

Safe Travels,
Cindy Michaud

p.s. if you have a camper name or favorite camp motto (i.e. home is where you park it....) let me know and I will be happy to add it lengthwise to the left side.

Road Trip

This fun little collage was for a challenge we are doing at Pieces of 8.  Every month we have a new challenge, this month it was travel.  I looked at so many photos of places I had been, beautiful scenery, familiar landmarks, places I loved or held great memories.  I could not decide what to paint so I thought what says travel better than Road Trip!!! 
I thought back to the days when travel was really an adventure.  You took photos that were so meaningful because you had to have them developed.  You bought stickers for your car and luggage so everyone would know where you had been, that you were an adventurer, a traveler.  I used these old travel stickers to show some of the places you might have been on a road trip.  To set  the mood I added a cut out I made of a Xeroxed road map of an old fashioned car and trailer.
I used a 6x12 board because I wanted the mood to be open road.
Enjoy.
