Picture Frames Connected With Nature By Darryl Cox
Darryl Cox creates art that is twisted and fused – the former, literally, and the latter, less so. His works combine branches and old image frames. In his work, Cox tries to meld wood so that the branch look like an organic continuation of the frame.
Born in California, Darryl Cox now lives in Central Oregon. He uses many kinds of wood, and the frames are up to one hundred years old . “When finished, each one [frame] exhibits many individual characteristics, but in a singular, harmonized style,” Cox writes on his website. “Each frame shows the individual history of every part as well as their combined story as one. Each is a chronicle, complete with scars and adornment.”

Hypnotizing Wilderness Landscape Carved Out Of Wood
After almost 2 years of on-and-off preparation and work, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based artist duo Paul Roden and Valerie Lueth are almost finished with their new woodcut print, called “Overlook.” The meticulously intricate woodcut of a speckled landscape with forests, mountains and lakes will be soon available as a three-color print, the final size reaching 28” x 46”.
“ Layer upon layer of undulating pattern builds a dizzying intensity in ‘Overlook’, ” write the artists. “ A panoramic infinity will be suggested by the print’s ability to eventually meet itself seemlessly at the edges, expanding like an eternal ‘wallpaper’ into an ever stretching vista! ”
The “Overlook” print will be available as a single piece, a diptych, a triptych, or “ an entire room’s worth of loping, abundant wilderness as far as the eye can see! ” – all from their Tugboat print shop.
