Paintings so far in 2020

El Capitan in very early morning, Yosemite National Park (painted from Gordon's photo)

My cityscape created from a pour gone wrong

Acrylic 16x20 on canvas board. This painting has a story. I bought the frame and canvas at a local auction. The original painting was of birds. I gessoed over it and decided to do an acrylic pour but I had seen a pour done of faces, so I made face shapes with a glue gun. Well that went horribly wrong so I painted over the canvas again trying to to think of what I could do with it now that it had the hot glue lines for the faces. So this is what I came up with.

Pop Art

This is a pop art painting that I created (with help from You Tube and my art teacher) for my sister for Christmas. She was happy with it, in fact had recently been to a restaurant where a like painting was asking $500.

A little info on pop art.

What do you think?

I belong to several Facebook groups here in town and I want to put a question out to people so I thought this might be a way to do it. I know a lot of you no longer live in one town but I'm sure you have an opinion anyway.

In these groups we get lots of complaints that there's nothing for kids or adults for that matter to do in this town. Do you feel that it's up to a town to provide entertainment for kids, teens & adults? Any opinions? Looking forward to hearing lots of opinions.
