Here are a pair of canvases that I think are really wonderful.
A venue to highlight the artists and craftsman who bring beauty and meaning to Jewish homes around the world.

Found in cyberspace
Actually, the artist Geoff Smith is in Toronto, Canada but I found him this morning while I was perusing google. I was specifically looking for siddur covers (which Geoff designs) but some of his other work is what stopped me in my search. I contacted Geoff's company and quickly heard back from them (thank you Carole). I learned that Geoff paints each and every canvas himself and that all canvases can be personalized. Geoff is more of a 20th century man and prefers the telephone to email so you can call him to discuss a customized design.

Our synagogue recently celebrated our 100th aniversary - one of the initiatives was new covers for our Torachs. Geoff Smith designed the needlepoint canvases for us, and he did a fabulous job. Here is a photo of our Torahs all dressed up: http://pickledish.blogspot.com/2009/10/100th-anniversary.html
Thank you for sharing Lesly... I would love to see more of Geoff's work in action!!!
"Hamotzi" is misspelled. How painful after all that work!
