Fauve Bird 8-'24 sold at G4

 At our HAGS meeting we watched a video about the Fauve Art Era.  Matisse and his buddies painted with bright unrelated colors.  Brave at that time (early 1900's) Since i had paint and a canvas left over from my Family art project, I did this yesterday.  Acrylic. 

The ROXY commission

 I was commissioned by a friend of my son, Matt, to paint the Roxy, kinda like it was in the 80's.  Not many photos of it but i had painted it 3X in the early 90's, so those paintings were my go-to material.  I personally love the lavender colored sidewalk. 

 Memories, esp. seeing Bambi as a kid.. never will forget the gunshot..  

"It's a cape, not an apron"

1-30-24      Bored today..  added an acrylic playground and a lake to this dull watercolor. will have to have a matt cut special to show the trees ..  geez... 

Now it is a " Mixed Media" work.

Next months theme at G4 is "super heroes "  ..  I think MOMS are super heroes in our society.  Especially  young mothers with jobs, goals, and ambition.   I took a snap of a neighbor as she walked by, (I did ask her permission).  It is watercolor.    Grandson, Sam, thought i should call it Cap-ron ,, you know, Cape + Apron??
