Mid-Century Modern

We live in a mid-century modern home, built in the 1960s by the West Coast builder, Joseph Eichler.

When we remodeled our kitchen/family room we wanted to include some art from the mid-century modern period. Of course original Picasso, Pollock or Lichtenstein pieces were way, way out of our league. So instead I painted Trio.

Trio is a diptych. Each of the two panels measures 40 x 30 inches. I used acrylics (for the undercoat) and then oil paints on stretched canvas.

Here is how it looks on our wall.

Next, what was needed was a (faux) Jackson Pollack. So I got to work on FauxJackson No. 1. The canvas measures 16 x 20 inches.

I was having so much fun that I did FauxJackson No. 2 (below). The canvas is 30 x 40 inches.
