N.C. RAW ART

04/24/2026

We will be 🎨 painting, on canvas with acrylics a nature scene with a bear cub. I would appreciate locals sharing this post. The last time I advertised Ed's gig, playing guitar upstairs on Sat. night instead of my event on Sun. Oooops 😬.
I am doing it right this time.
It is a much needed relaxing afternoon out to just have a glass of wine, paint, and socialize with others that just want to chill. I hope to see you there.

This is a cross section of a huge bear that we did years ago. When that piece of wood hit the ground I knew where it was going. I took it home and made it a head on my wall. I love him and he was recycled, that's what we do.

It is with a sad heart I write this. RAW ART is nolonger producing Art. Wendy's hands nolonger are able to create and I have put my saws down. I had thought we would transition to a wood shop and begin making other things, but with Covid, and all the unrest in the world, the price of raw materials to build with and my inabilaty to build it, it is not going to happen.
I have aquired many tools to put in the woodshop that I will never use so I will be organizing them and put them up for sale on local yardsale sites to get them out of my way. Table saws, band saws, routers and many many hand tools. not sure when I will start selling, but it will not be long.
We have Loved creating Art for the world and have had a blast doing shows. We will miss making Art, but it is now time to take care of the business of getting old.
Thank you all for the support over the years, we will carry you in our hearts forever.

Richard A. Withrow.

We are thinking of starting a Blog about Life up here on the mountain at Someday!
What do you think?

I am sorry I have not updated this page in awhile. Please know we are not doing any shows this year. My health has not been that great this year and Wendy has damage to both hands and we have not been making any Art since the first of the year. We hope to heal and get back to creating in the future, but given the state of the country and world and our health it may be awhile before we get back in the groove. Know you are Loved! If you need us we are always here.

Slow going, I have been sick. But getting there. This is white oak. The Bear will be holding a lantern the owner will supply.
