Museo Ettore Guatelli
Thursday, June 24th, 2010
Ettore Guatelli grew up outside of Parma in Northern Italy. He was a teacher, writer and farmer. He died in 2000. He collected and filled his barn with old tools, shoes, toys…everyday things all arranged in intricate designs. He was drawn to the well-used, well-worn, discarded and ingenious. All used by hardworking hands. Now honored in all their humble glory.

Incredibly talented painter and friend of HHD, Catalina Viejo Lopez de Roda, is this week’s cover artist for the Weekly Dig. Man, she’s good. If you don’t follow the NBA it’s probably worth pointing out that this is a portrait of Boston Celtics’ star forward, Kevin Garnett.
Check out more of Catalina’s miniature paintings of the Celtics here.
Be sure to stop by her Etsy store, too.
