This week we look at the “Just for Fun” art from Daren Dundee, and nostalgic Mt. Clemens art from Charlie Winkler. 

First is the amusing, fun art from Daren Dundee. Daren creates mixed media pieces from found objects, and repurposes them "Just for Fun"! His humorous titles for his works add to the fun.

"Pure Michigan" 12"x 12" x13" mixed media by Daren Dundee ($150)

"Daffy Drill Planter" 15"x 12" mixed media by Daren Dundee ($100)

Now for some Mount Clemens nostalgia from Charlie Winkler. Charlie was a well known photographer in the Mount Clemens area. His digitally enhanced photos are evocative, and stunning.

"Boat Docks II" 9"x 11" framed and matted digital photograph by Charlie Winkler ($35)

"Eddie's Drive-In in Fall" 12"x 14" digital photograph by Charlie Winkler ($25)

"Scheel's Service in Winter" 20"x 24" framed digital photograph by Charlie Winkler ($100)
