Cupcake - Original Mini Paintings Cupcake Still Life by Debbie Shirley
A couple of cupcake minis! These measure 3 x 3 inches and are on mdf panels. Occasionally I throw in something super fun just to break things up a bit. I enjoy playing with the colors of these - plus who can resist CUPCAKES??!
These little guys will be heading to Zenobia in Ipswich, Massachusetts later this week.

Agawam Diner - Small Acrylic Painting of Classic Rowley Diner by Debbie Shirley
Agawam Diner
(Rowley, Massachusetts)
5 x 7 inches
acrylic on cradled panel
The Agawam Diner on Route 1 in Rowley, Massachusetts is quite the local institution. Whenever I have a painting of it at one of my shows, it seems like just about everyone comments on having eaten there. By the way, despite the name, I don't think this diner was ever in Agawam. I believe it was in Ipswich and Peabody before it was moved to Rowley in the 1960's.
This piece is currently available at Pop Gallery in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Interested in a similar piece? Contact me!

Beer & Wine - Acrylic Painting of Bowling Alley and Neon Sign
Beer & Wine
(Danvers, Massachusetts)
16 x 12 inches
SOLD
Love this sign from the Sunnyside Bowladrome in Danvers, Massachusetts. I am always surprised at how many locals don't know where this is! The colors are great - and the building has some interesting shapes. Every time I go by it, I see another angle that I want to paint!
This painting was one of my recent favorites - and I am happy to say that is SOLD at this year's Topsfield Fair.
Home Style - Small Urban Landscape Painting by Debbie Shirley
Home Style (One Way)
(Gloucester, Massachusetts)
8 x 8 inches
acrylic on canvas
What exactly would "Home Style" laundry be? Seems like a funny claim to fame! But anyways, I found myself fascinated by this building, sign and shadows each time I drove by, so I decided to paint it. A little different than my paintings that just highlight a part or a sign, but I am enjoying doing this kind of urban landscape - so there will be more!

I enjoyed doing the small version of this old VW so much, that I decided to paint it a little larger for the Newburyport Art Association's 8 Cubed exhibition.
