Chinese block art

art, originally uploaded by staarkidd.

My amazing brother, Dan, is the true artisan of the family. I love his work. He makes beautiful peices of furniture from barn wood he gathers around Lancaster county. Each peice is rich in history and charactered by weather. For Christmas, he sent me one of his gorgeous wood frames with a print inside made from a 19th century chinese wood block. It makes me smile everytime i walk by it!
