Memories, Reel Memories!

Across the street from the college my daughter attends sits this drive-in theater in disrepair. It needs a big case of love! Sadly, one day in the future, someone will probably find another use for that land and this place filled with memories, reel memories, will become a memory. When that happens, its our loss.

This is an original hand painted acrylic done in Impressionist Style on hand-stretched, double primed canvas over hand-built stretcher bars. This picture is protected with a minimum of two coats of UV high gloss varnish.

Size: 10" x 8" Gallery Wrap - Painting continues around edges (needs no frame) Ready to hang.

$85.00 Shipping: $10.00

About Me…

Since the time I was old enough hold a pencil or a brush, I have been drawing and painting. My father owned a printing business so I had all the scrap paper any artist could want. Starting at about seven, I studied with several local artist groups in class settings. I then studied privately with a prominent local artist for about eight years. As an adult, I worked in the printing and graphic design industry, eventually owing my own business. I worked both as a professional and volunteer fire fighter for many years, painting off and on. Being attracted to the bright colored wardrobes, props, and opportunity of working with people, I started to clown about 1978. I went full time in 1992. I wrote the scripts, designed, built and painted the props and staging for over forty different shows. I designed my promotional materials. I also designed and then painted my personal canvas, my face, three to ten times a week. I am now making the transition back to my roots and training, using paint, pallet, and brush to create pictures and wall art. Much of what I am painting is from my life and work experiences. I paint what interests me at the moment. I especially love painting fire scenes in impressionist style. I want you to "feel the heat" when you view the painting! Thanks for looking!
