Hydrangeas (Acrylic on Canvas)

(Value Village Art Gallery Favorite)

If not for the cantaloupe-looking bowl/vase and the somewhat uninteresting background, this would have been a "Value Village Art Gallery Favorite" - and it still might become one, once I've had a few days to think about it. Despite being from 2002 I consider this to be a lovely and legitimately old-school-style throwback to what real artists once did and are still supposed to do: spend time and effort painting paintings that mean something and that actually look like the things being painted by the painter. With paint. Good job, Artiste! I hope you are still painting and have not been compromised by this accursed, repugnant and thoroughly demoralizing 21st Century we are in.
