CM-32- Circus Antics
7.5x12, 4x5.5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--We learned that some children were frightened by clown portraits, so we decide to put the clowns into a circus act in order to make it more fun and less frightening. 

CM-34- Nursery Rhymes
4x5.5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

--Not my favorite subject at all. But we had received many requested for nursery rhymes. Obviously, each subject was taken from a nursery rhyme. As I guessed, it didn’t sell well, but we tried.

CM-37- Queen Elizabeth
12x16, 4x5.5

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


--We had recently expanded our production facilities into Canada. To show Canadians that we considered their market important, we decided to create subjects that would be specific to the Canadian market. One of those subjects would be Queen Elizabeth and that I would do myself. As a collectible, it is considered to be the rarest Craft Master. Some famous collectors like June Mersky used to say that they would keep collecting until they got one. Several years ago a Queen Elizabeth sold at auction for an amazing $3200.
