Waldo - miniature acrylic frog painting by Pennsylvania Painter Pat Koscienski

"Waldo"

6" x 6"

Acrylic

This painting was done for the Mechanicsburg Art Center's Miniature Exhibit.  MAC is located at 18 Artcraft Drive in Mechanicsburg, PA.  The exhibit will be hanging until Nov. 21, 2012, so if you are in the area please stop in to see it.  The exhibit has 90 miniatures from local artists...4  are mine.  By the way, he got this name because when my husband and I would sit up by the pond, we would ask, "Where's Waldo?"  He was either sitting on a lily pad or hiding in one of the grasses we have in the pond.  Sometimes it would take us quite a while to find him; he was quite good with the camouflage.  If you have any questions, or wish to purchase, contact PAT.   If you would like to see more of my paintings from  miniatures, landscapes, figurative, portraits, wildlife, abstract.....please visit my website at:

Backyard Mushrooms - original impressionistic ACEO painting by Pennsylvania Painter Pat Koscienski

Backyard Mushrooms

2.5" x 3.5"

ACEO

Acrylic

I found these mushrooms growing in the backyard and decided to paint them. I have been trying to post this for several weeks. However, everytime I tried to insert my "horizontal"  photo it was posted in the vertical position. I finally edited the photo, rotated it to the vertical position and when I posted it, it posted in the horizontal position where it needed to be. If anyone else has had this problem and knows the solution, please let me know.  My method obviously worked, but is very time consuming.

This Sunday, April 1, marks the formal opening of the Preserved Lands Exhibit at York Art Association. YAA has partnered with the Farm and Natural Lands Trust of York County, and will be featuring landscape paintings of York County's Preserved Lands by 30 local artists.

After touring and photographing this beautiful property on a gator driven by Sherri Becker in July, 2011, I chose to paint this scene using a photo as reference. The painting depicts both the roughness of the land and the beauty and softness of its crop.

The reception is from 2:00 to 4:00 on Sunday, April 1, at YAA, 220 S Marshall St, York, PA. Please stop by if you are in the area. The exhibit will be on display until April 22.

This painting was done entirely with a palette knife. I made a sculpting compound using clear gesso and pumice which I used to mix with my paint.
