Jacqueline Lou Skaggs deliberately moved from making “pictorial” images to painting them on found pennies. She says she originally intended to spend the painted pennies or toss them away, but her plans were foiled when people bought the paintings. The series of 12 small works is called Tondi Observations.

Got something to say? Go for it!





So beautiful! I want one!
No wonder! They’re so unique.
hey Canadian artists – here’s something wonderful to do with our pennies that are going to be pulled out of circulation!
Great suggestion. Forgot about our pennies coming out of circulation. Thanks.
“(waiting for Picasso)” is NOT a part of the title on the artist’s site. it should be removed from the above caption “Field of sleeping Peasants”.
Thank you. My error. The words were in the artist’s description, next to the title. I should have been more careful. Appreciated.
very cool. I love the detail and it must take her forever to do it.
I think it must, indeed. Thanks.
