So what is Clever Perceptions, you ask? Well, it's a very unique and gratifying way to express myself...Palm Husk Painting. For those not familiar with palm husks...they are the support system for the palm fronds (the green leafy part) of the palm tree. I am a self-taught artist, so when I was introduced to this very unusual painting technique by a very talented man at a craft show I participated in several years ago, I was so very anxious to try it, I immediately went searching for some. Palm husks are plentiful in Florida, so I gathered several up, and proceeded to begin my venture.At that time, I was painting on 12"x36" unframed raw canvas, attaching them to bamboo dowels with twine for a very informal effect. I had a sucessful day at the show, but couldn't wait to try my hand at palm husk painting.Well, it's been 3 years, and I haven't stopped yet. It's such an amazing form of expression. Each husk has it's own personality. The odd shapes and sizes offer endless possibilities.I began with simple African masks, then Asian, African and Hispanic faces, and now I'm focusing on wild and domestic animals, and some other interesting subjects.All palm husks are for sale. Please contact me for prices. I would love to hear from you with any questions, comments, or requests you may have.I will be updating often adding to my collection, so visit often...Thanks!Myspace Layouts
