Abstract paintings exhibiting at Trinity Lutheran Church - by Pennsylvania Painter Pat Koscienski

These are 6 of the 19 paintings I have exhibiting at the Trinity Lutheran Church, 2000 Chestnut Street, Camp Hill, Pa during the month of August.  The photograph is distorting the 2 painting on the left and a lot of window light is reflecting off the 2 lower right paintings.  But, it gives my blog visitors some idea what the exhibit is offering.  If you have any questions, or wish to purchase, contact PAT.  If you would like to see more of my paintings, both abstract or representatonal, please visit my website at:

Field Stone Meadows
30" x 24"
Acrylic on canvas
SOLD

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. I was invited to paint Art Glatfelter's Field Stone Meadows Horse Farm. 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.

If you have any questions, or wish to purchase, contact PAT. 50% of the sale will go to the artist, 25% to YAA, and 25% to the Natural Lands Trust; this applies until April 22.

This painting was done using a photograph I had taken when painting on a farm off Wertzville Road in Mechanicsburg, PA.

Got Milk?, Acrylic palette knife representational cow painting by Pennsylvania Painter Pat Koscienski

 SOLD

"Got Milk?"
8" x 10"
Acrylic on canvas
Palette Knife

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. The clear gesso worked well, in that it didn't alter the color of the paint. There were some areas that became challenging eg eyes. If you have any questions, or wish to purchase, contact PAT.
