bowler hat portrait
By rbeerhorst on September 26th, 2006
I have a new hat. It is a bowler and I am pretty excited about wearing it at my gig this friday. It is not a hat you see any one wear these days with the exception of some of the men who drive horse carriages around Central Park. Apparently it was originaly designed for coach drivers to protect them from the elements and any low braches that may knock into them as they drive. In its original form you could stand on it and it would support your weight with out caving in. That idea of strength and protection is a potent one. I would hope that this new hat would be a symbol of protection for me as I drive into an uncertain future with courage and faith.

Hi. Your art - as well as your wife’s creations - is very lovely. Being an artist myself, I doubt I could afford to buy any.. but I wondered if you have a website or a list of works for sale?
Nice bowler hat too - a great photo!

Thank you Melissa for your kind words. We do not currently have a list of works with prices. We have the option at the top of the site to view “works for sale”. The paintings are in the range of $800 up to $4,000. Wood cuts and collage begin at $35 and go up to maybe $1200 for some of the really big ones. By the way I have gone to your web site and the one for your father’s furniture and there is a lot of beauty there. I can see a definet connection. I am glad to make the discovery.
