John
Granacki is one of southern Oregon's most celebrated artists, this being
his twelfth (or is it his thirteenth?) featured appearance on the Grants
Pass First Friday Art Walk, beginning with his original "Master of
Space & Time" show in November of 1995 at Listen Here.
Actively
and semi-actively pursuing his muse, since and before moving to southern
Oregon in 1983, Granacki soon caught the attention of the southern Oregon
art community by winning a First Place award for portraiture in the
prestigious Woodville (Rogue River) Fine Arts Association's 1984 juried
show. Since then, his work has been well recieved in several of the
Grants Pass area's finer establishments, including: the Blue Stone Bakery
Cafe, the Blue Pine Brew Pub, Bridge Books, the Creative Alternative, the
Dan Thompson Gallery, Elegance Antiques & Collectibles, The Falls, the
Grants Pass Museum of Art, Rogue Gallery (Medford), the RVUUF Gallery
(Ashland), the Taylor-Christopher Agency, the Wiseman Gallery and Annex,
and Yellow Pages bookstore.

On the Functional Side...
A sunflower table, on an
old pot bellied woodstove base. Sure, why not?
Here's a handly little
primitive pine box with some pine cones and boughs painted on it (and
it's only $15 bucks!!!)
and beneath it a gorgeous "nesting" table in a Monterey / faux
Arts & Crafts style (on
sale for just $49!)

"Davy
Jones' Watercooler"
A triptyche of
sorts, rendered in oil
upon the sheetmetal shell of an office watercooler. In
addition to the usual sharks, mermaids and skin divers, this dandy little
unit features starfish, bluefish (as in "one fish, two fish..."),
octopi, kelp forests, a seahorse, and a sunken galleon, complete with a
treasure chest overflowing with gold!

In
addition to LOTS more furniture, we've got saws and mailboxes, all painted
up in various regional lodge and ranch motifs! (pictured:
