Announcement    About me:
I try to capture the beauty of the world we live in on canvas and in wood.
I enjoy woodcarving and painting landscapes and wildlife. I started sketching at a young age but stopped when I left for the military. Later in life I started woodcarving and slowly turned towards wildfowl carving (as seen at lumberjock.com/bug) and transitioned from acrylic paints to the use of oil paints, which transitioned to oil painting (as seen on Thomas-Janos.pixels.com).
I spend as much time on the lakes and in the woods of Minnesota as possible enjoying the beauty, solitude and wildlife it offers.
I live in Stacy Minnesota with my lovely bride Katherine, our dog, cat, macaw parrot, and horse. We have 5 adult children, 6 grand children with more coming soon.

Woodcarvings:

My wood carvings have won awards at the Minnesota State Fair and various Minnesota County Fairs. I belong to the Lakes Area Woodcarving Club in Forest Lake, Minnesota & Viking Woodcarving Club in Bloomington Minnesota, and the North Metro Wood Carvers Club in Blaine, Minnesota.

A Few important messages:
Due to the nature of wood with its varying grains and colors, no two pieces are ever exactly alike and may vary from the photo.

For ideas of my past carvings please visit his LumberJocks webpage http://lumberjocks.com/BUG.

Paintings and Drawings:

Prints of all my paintings and drawings, including ones that the originals were not for sale or seen on this website, are available immediately at Thomas-Janos.pixels.com, were you can get them framed if desired or in many other formats. Very few of my original paintings are for sell here on Etsy as many are commission projects, that is why the prints are available.

Shipping

I try to ship packages w/in 7-10 business days after the painting and carvings are finished. Please keep in mind that this could be a few days or even months after the order is placed depending on the custom carving or painting you are ordering.
Please note that if you want your paintings varnished, they will not be available for shipping until they are fully dried, about 6 months from the date painted. Don't forget about the prints mentioned above which are available worldwide..

Please read the description of the item carefully regarding of date of completion and shipping.


During Holidays or my vacations ... Personalized and custom work may take longer to finish and ship. If multiple custom orders come in they will be done in order of how they are received. I will email you to give you an estimated times of completion and arrival. AGAIN let me know if you need faster shipping on any items ordered. Once it is shipped I do not have a way of changing to faster shipping.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my carvings and paintings. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them.
