Blue Door - ACEO Painting Cityscape Landscape Haverhill, Massachusetts

Blue Door

3-1/2 x 2-1/2 inches

acrylic on watercolor paper

This is another little ACEO painting of a storefront in downtown Haverhill, Massachusetts. I have just found out that the building recently sold and will be developed into retail on the ground floor and living space above including (rumor has it) possibly live/work artist spaces. All kinds of exciting things are happening in Haverhill these days!

This little painting will be available matted and framed at Positive Images Gallery on Wingate Street in Haverhill nest week. There are some things that I like about this composition, so I think I may be exploring it in a larger version soon.

Shoe City - Small Landscape Cityscape Acrylic Painting Haverhill ACEO

Shoe City

2-1/2 x 3-1/2 inches

acrylic on watercolor paper

This is a little scene from Haverhill, Massachusetts - a little red and brick building that houses Shoe City Hardware. Haverhill is known as "Shoe City" because of the shoe making industry that was prevalent in the area until the mid 1900's.

I have done a number of small paintings from Haverhill (as well as other Massachusetts towns) - and you will be seeing some more in the future as requested by some of my local galleries. Right now I am doing a few ACEO-sized ones that will be available matted and framed at Positive Images Gallery on Wingate Street in Haverhill. Some of the compositions that I particularly like will be then redone as larger pieces. I have some shows coming up, as well as some display space at my  new studio in Haverhill. I will be sharing more information about the studio in the upcoming months as we make some plans and things get settled in.....

My kids were going through a box of old wind-up toys, and this silly little egg caught my eye. Watching it "walk" across the floor just totally cracked me up (no pun intended  ;-).

After I mat and frame him, he will be going to West Village Provisions in West Boxford, Massachusetts later this week.

Yes, I haven't added to this series in a while......I hope to get around to it soon before show season starts. This painting is for a client who is making a grouping of these for her kitchen and wanted another pepper painting.

I got a sweet email today from the person who purchased my contribution to the #twitterartexhibit in Orlando this weekend. So glad that my little painting was able to help raise money for such a worthy cause!
