"Campbell's Soup Can a la Ros Warhol..."

This month's "Girls Just Wanna Paint" challenge was "Paint Like a Famous Artist." I almost phoned it in with an existing painting that I could have kinda sorta said was in the spirit of Van Gogh, because it was...kind of. But then a funny thing happened as I was putting away stuff in my studio, I came across a Campbell's Soup can that I keep pencils and small brushes in and I thought...hmmm, I can think of TWO artists to whom I could credit this subject matter, of course Andy Warhol, and my late mentor, Ros Farbush...she painted any old container she found around the house, usually filled with flowers...I tried to paint in her ultra loose style.

Rocky Neck Boats 20"x20"

I painted this while on an outing with a large group of painters from the South Shore of Boston visiting the North Shore Arts Association. It was a wonderful day with great people and many beautiful settings. This was one of my paintings.
