Folk Art Rooster Acrylic Paintings

Roosters

Roosters have always been on my "Painting Bucket List".

There are so many varieties and they are so colorful.

The background is collaged pages from a book of maps.

Acrylic Mixed Media Sommelier Dog Wine Painting

HAIR OF THE DOG

This fun and whimsical painting will be the featured star of my August exhibit at the 

Adams County Winery, 25C Chambersburg St., Gettysburg PA 17325.

The gallery wrapped canvas was collaged with old sheet music which can be seen 

in the background. I used acrylic markers 

to build the first layer of the 

painting. Finding just the right dog took a lot of research 

as he needed to look good in red.

Frenchie was the perfect choice!

Art Exhibit at Adams County Wine Shop, Gettysburg PA

This exhibit will run from July 23rd thru August 29th.

Come take a peek and enjoy a 

Pennsylvania glass of wine,

 I recommend the Summer Sangria!

Landscape Acrylic Painting

LANDSCAPE PAINTING

Landscape painting is a genre I normally avoid. There are so so many talented artists who paint beautiful realistic landscape paintings that I did not want to get lost in the crowd. Hence the reason I paint conceptual whimsical colorful paintings.

But my family has said to me on more than one occasion -

"Why don't you paint something someone might like?".

So I decided to do just that.

I will hang it in a show this summer and see what the reception is.

Recycled Painting - Red Flower in Acrylic with Collage

Another Recycled Painting,

an old painting that needs a new lease on life. 

Rather than spend years in the closet, 

I've re-invented this canvas.

 Painted over with gesso, then stenciled and glazed, 

creating a background to start a new painting.

The flower petals were cut from a 

1935 issue of Home and Garden.
