About Art de Yard
Hand-crafted Wood Yard Art
Exclusively Custom-Made-to-Order
Your craftsman
Jerry Falgout
I enjoy working with wood and hand-crafting wood art to help others wishing to express themselves with creative yard displays for holidays and other special events but just don't have either the time, resources, desire or patience to make it for themselves.
All my works are hand-crafted by me and exclusively custom-made-to-order. I work alone, stock no inventory and take as much time as necessary to create works that we'll both be proud. In order to ensure that you get to enjoy your investment for many seasons, I use only quality exterior grade materials and paints. Plywood is best quality available, sanded 19/32" BCX (exterior grade). All paint and primers are exterior latex (house paint) and applied by brush.
I've been making wood yard art for over 25 years now and consider myself an accomplished "craftsman", but still not a true "artist". I do not draw my own designs from scratch. Instead, I've mastered the ability to use and modify existing clip art images, (which are freely available on the internet) to create custom designed works.
All my photos you'll see on this site are original (not retouched) photos of actual works I've done.
Of course, you can make your own wood art for a fraction of the price that I have to charge to recoup my cost of time and materials. If you’re willing to invest your own time and you have both the patience and resources, you can do-it-yourself with easy to use, trace-on patterns that you can buy direct from The Winfield Collection. Or, you can just finish a paint-ready project that I'll be happy to cut out and trace-in the paint lines for you to paint yourself.
I maintain my own site. This is and always will be a work in progress, so check back often for new content.
THANK YOU!
