Collage - "Talking Shops"

Click on image to enlarge.

Detroit, Michigan has a huge art scene so I like to give credit when I can. This postcard was from Talking Shops. Otherwise, just a fun collage reworking and painting.

4" x 6" mixed media $20

Curridabat, San Jose, Costa Rica

Five years ago the New York Times ran an article about a British ex-pat who lived in Aix en Provence and produced a small daily painting inspired by the country, the people, the architecture, the flora and fauna. I was entranced by the article dreaming that to be able to paint daily would be just that “a dream.”

In 2009 my dream became a reality. I resigned my position as Director of the Grosse Pointe Art Center in Michigan and moved to the Central Valley in Costa Rica.

Like the British ex-pat, Julian, and a number of other artists, I paint the country in which I live. My paintings are usually 5" x 7", acrylic, or oil on Masonite board, or stretched canvas. I am not new to the creative process of painting. I have created art all of my life, most often in Michigan, where I have exhibited and sold.
