Off The Wall, And Signed

Greetings,

Welcome to the Cooper studio. A few days ago I (ahem) whined about the buildup of paintings leaning on the studio wall needing those finishing 3 1/2 brush strokes of paint, yet not quite sure of what those finishing brush strokes might look like. Well, problem solved on one of them. It's signed. I'm pleased.

But before you go too crazy with the "buy now" button, the painting is not varnished yet. My varnish accidentally went to an artist in Brooklyn, New York. I got his box of art goodies, and they looked very interesting and fun, but probably not applicable to what I'm working on! Hopefully my supplies will arrive shortly and then the varnish will happen.

However. While we are on the subject of art supplies, let's continue there momentarily. Let it be known I am a big fan of 'buy local'. Unfortunately Spencer, Iowa is not lucky enough to get a Dick Blick store, and therefore my paint, etc comes from the UPS folks. There is one store in Spencer that supposedly carries some acrylic paint, but I consider them not local, and a detriment to main street America. Sure, you know who I mean, and I am ever so pleased to say I have not been to one of their stores since October of 2004. Yea for stubborn me! But back to business here, hopefully my varnish will arrive this afternoon and Saturday Morning, Nothing Much To Do will be it's first recipient.

Saturday Morning, Nothing Much To Do, acrylic painting on canvas, 32.5 x 36 inches. These folks are seated outside the Unicorn Cafe in downtown Evanston, Illinois. It truely was one of those mornings you revel in, where sitting outside and drinking your iced latte, was the top item on your to-do list for the weekend. This painting is framed in a black canvas floater frame, and I would be happy to send you an image showing that as well. Just let me know. The painting with frame, $750, available in my portfolio Enjoy!

Later, Cooper
