SIZE: 20 inches tall
EDITIONS: 1 (Original)
MEDIA: Acrylic and Pen/Ink on artifact
CATEGORY: Artifact Art
MAT: None
FRAME: None
HANGING METHOD: Hangs via hole in top of shovel
CREATED: September 2008
PRICE: $100.00
SHIPPING: FREE (via UPS)



DESCRIPTION:
This is another Artifact Art piece -- this time painted on an antique shovel.

While vultures circle, Jake surveys the Superstition Mountains and Weaver`s Needle. It was here that the legendary Lost Dutchman Mine was located. This painting is Original Acrylic and contains eight hidden images througout the painting.

ARTIST NOTE:
These rusty old shovels are not easy to paint on. I could sand them to bare metal, but I want the years of rust and character to remain ... so I carefully prepare only the spot for the painting.

CATEGORY: Artifact Art
MAT: None
FRAME: None -- mounted on board
HANGING METHOD: Sawtooth hanger (like standard painting)

DESCRIPTION:
In this Artifact Art piece, a cowboy, his horse, and his dog sit and ponder atop a grassy hill. The piece is painted on an old saw and mounted on a rustic board with sawtooth hangar for easy display on a wall. A horseshoe of historical significance (see Artist Note below) is also mounted on the handle to give the piece added authenticity.

ARTIST NOTE:
I cut this saw down in size to make it more compact as a painting. It is an Original acrylic and has five hidden images throughout the painting.

The horseshoe mounted on the handle came from the former John Wayne Red River Ranch in Stanfield, Arizona.

New items coming to ZivicStudio.com

In the days ahead, we will be posting some new and different items on Zivicstudio.com. Mr. Zivic has been very busy in his gallery as of late -- the most he has painted in years.

LARGER ORIGINAL ITEMS:
This includes Original items larger than the normal 8x10 framed paintings we have been offering. Some are larger standard format items (11x14, 16x20, 24x36, etc.) as well as some non-standard format pieces such as wide panoramic paintings.

ARTIFACT ART:
In addition, we will be posting a number of truly "one-of-a-kind" pieces. We call this type of art -- Artifact Art. These are pieces of artwork painted on such items as old rusty saws, gold pans, coffee pots, frying pans, shovels, and other items.

Each item tells it's own story ... and some of the items are very old and have historical significance just by themselves.

Mr. Zivic has offered many similar type items in the past, but this is the first time he has painted such works in many years. He has collected many of these artifacts during his 40+ years of living in Arizona and the Desert Southwest.



As always, FREE SHIPPING is included for all items purchased on ZivicStudio.com.

Announcing ... FRAME INCLUDED on all Zivic Gallery purchases

We are pleased to announce that all items purchased on ZivicStudio.com are now FRAME INCLUDED. This includes all past items added to the site as well as all future items.

Below is a sample of a typical framed piece.
We use only SOLID OAK WOOD FRAMES ...


Click here to view the ZivicStudio.com Online Gallery

In the past, we offered UNFRAMED items primarily to keep item cost as well as shipping costs to a minimum. But a number of our longtime collectors have asked about the possibility of selling framed pieces online. As such, we have adjusted our prices slightly and are now happy to offer the same "finished product" that we offered for over 40 years in our Gallery in Arizona.
