Greetings,

Welcome to the Cooper studio, Jefferson, Iowa.

Flipflops, sunglasses, cool beverages, cutoff shorts, beach sand, sunny days, vacation time.....feel free to add you own personal favorites.

Gossip With A Glass Of Wine, an acrylic painting original on a wonderful little 12 x 12 inch canvas, as seen outside the Wine Bar, Arnolds Park, Iowa, on one fine afternoon last summer. (portfolio) I do believe this painting carries through with that flipflops, tank tops, cool beverage theme quite well :)

Strawberry Smoothie, an acrylic painting original on a slightly larger but still wonderful 24 x 24 inch canvas. This painting talks strawberry smoothie, and of course, what better cool summer beverage? Flags fluttering in the warm breeze... (portfolio)

Summer Loop, also a delightful little 12 x 12 inch canvas, colored up with acrylic paint, comes complete with two of those slushy drinks you get at the little stand on the Loop. Loop, for anyone needing Arnolds Park (Iowa) nomenclature, is that delightful little stretch of lake front off Okoboji, where summer vacation rules. (portfolio)

Lazy Afternoon, also acrylic paint, also on canvas, this one a little larger at 20 x 30 inches. But the good summer memories are here. Sharing a conversation, a dock, a couple of Coronas, and a lazy summer afternoon. (portfolio)

No Worries, this canvas is a lovely 16 x 24 inches. While I suppose "no worries" could refer to the physicalities of the painting, I was really referring to the folks in the painting. They are at that place we all want to be---relaxed, with a good book, summer sun shining down, no worries. My husband suggested that they probably had a couple of coronas at hand also---I must have missed that part of the scene :) (portfolio)

Thanks for stopping by.

Later, Cooper
