16 STROKES

I attended a one week workshop by Patti Mollica in June, at Hudson River Valley Art Workshop www.ArtWorkshops.com

This acrylic painting was a result of a 15 stroke exercise, the 16th stroke is the red edge, hence the title.  I challenge every artist to try this,  it's an easy way to help you loosen up in your artwork.

DISAPPEARING AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS

I've been feeling nostalgic toward the disappearing farm buildings as I see them crumbling down more and more over the years. Reproducing them in my interpretation is my way of preserving them.

THE POPPIES GROW ART SHOW

WALTZING POPPIES 2   SOLD

" ECHOES "
Was painted in mixed media as a statement.  Although poppies are cheerful, colorful and lively, there is none of that in war.  In the painting the poppies are wilted and sad, as they drift off into the distance they appear to turn into a pool of blood.  The crosses in the foreground depict the graves of our brave soldiers, they are green as the grass as they have now become one. We must never forget the soldiers in the trenches. Because out of sight is out of mind, I  chose to also include the morbidity of the subject.

WALTZING POPPIES

These poppies I painted for the show has sold quite fast, I am in the process of painting a similar one for another interested art lover.  If you can't make it out for the opening, you have two months to see the show.

CANINE THERAPY

This Impressionistic Acrylic I recently painted, is based on a photograph of my friend and his best friend.

“Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace.” 
― Milan Kundera
