STAU - Acrylic Painting of a Neon Sign, Chinese Restaurant Sign Painting

STAU
20 x 10 inches
acrylic on canvas

I enjoyed going bigger again with a sign painting - and the larger than normal difference in the dimensions of this one really appealed to me - it was a good challenge to go so vertical! And - best of all - I am excited that "STAU" was accepted into the Newburyport Art Association's Winter Juried Show. This wonderful show will be at the Newburyport Art Association through March 5th. Be sure to check it out!

Work in progress shot (after sketching it out, I started out painting by blocking sections of all the colors to see how the colors and shapes would work together):

Spuds Surrenders - Acrylic Painting of a Classic Toy by Debbie Shirley

Spuds Surrenders
10 x 20 inches
acrylic on canvas

Okay, I was having a little fun with this one....toys are just too much fun to paint, and Mr. Potatohead is one of my favorites. In my mind he just kept peeking in from different edges of the canvas, so I might have to play with this some more. One of my friends said it looks like at Potatohead photobomb - hmmmmm....I like that idea......

Spuds is currently on exhibit at the Provident Bank in Seabrook, NH. He is peeking out over the top of the coin machine there - let me know if you spot him!
