2 Artists – 1 Canvas

At the Market McMinnville this past Saturday, August 7th with fellow artist John Stromme.   We share the art space there each weekend.  We have differing styles and I thought it a great idea to paint together.  John was somewhat skeptical and wasn’t sure how things would play out due to our unique styles of painting.  And the common denominator for me — he likes to have fun and so do I.  That sealed the deal for me and  the painting was on.  Another zany adventure in painting.

We started with the concept of “leaves”.  He started on one side of the canvas and me on the other, simultaneously applying brushstrokes of color.  The result a jungle mash-up of leaves and bamboo.  It’s interesting to paint with another creative person with differing ideas of color and imagery.  It was fun!

Visit John Stromme’s blog for his previous works at JohnStromme.wordpress.com.  Maybe this will encourage him to update his blog and post his latest creations of monochromatics, abstracts and acrylics.
