Yet
another adventure on their journey of life, Don and
Teresa Werth collaborated on their window, "Phillip,
Barbara, Charlie and Tess." The designs for the
cats (all of whom they knew personally) were inspired
by four cats from their whimsical collection of cat
art and adapted to live in the window panes with three
dimensional accents. The center two panels are mirrors,
making the window a fine addition to any room decorated
in folk art style. The materials are 1" birch
ply-wood that was primed before being designed with
folk art acrylic paint and finished with a clear varnish.
The window itself has been sanded and stained with
a dark oak finish and a final coat of polyurethane.
Don is a retired design engineer from Delphi Automotive.
Teresa is the Director of Public Information for the
West Irondequoit School District and a frustrated
artist. They have had (at least) two cats all 32 years
of their married life.
