Auctiva Emporium: Blues, Roosters, Chickens and all sorts of fun, Pop, outsider, and folk art by Dan C

The title of this piece says it all, a great pop, folk, outsider art piece by me C. Listing at 4:35 pst sunday the 25th of march........come on out and pick some art at the cocoa village show in may, dates to bhe posted later.......this is painted on my typical stock reclaimed, or salvaged wood, the rough character of these works givem an extra dimension.....and that genuine outsider folk flavor while keeping waste from the landfills and recycling the materials into pieces of work that will be here for many years to come......thanks for stopping by Dan

This will be my first blog of many more to come, I'll start with a mini bio for those that don'y yet know me. POP, OUTSIDER, FOLK, ART BY DAN C. WOOOOOOHOOOOO I HAVE PAINTED OVER 1100 PIECES SINCE PICKING UP MY FIRST PAINT BRUSH AND PIECE OF DISCARDED WOOD BACK IN 1997. 100% SELF TAUGHT, I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN LESSONS. I PICK UP DISCARDED ITEMS MOSTLY WOOD, TIN AND ODD ITEMS AND MAKEM COLORFUL AND DECORATIVE. IM ASTONISHED MY ART ENDS UP IN MUSEUMS, GALLERIES, BUSINESS ESTABLISHMENTS AND PRIVATE COLLECTIONS. I STILL CAN'T PAINT A LICK BUT I KEEP TRYING! FOLKS USE NAMES LIKE; FOLK, OUTSIDER, RAW, BRUT, POP, WHIMSICAL, WHIMSY AND MANY OTHER TAGS........ ALAS I AM GUILTY AS THE REST AND FREQUENTLY TAG IT MYSELF. FACT IS AS MY GOOD FRIEND WILLARD J SAYS AND I MOST STRONGLY AGREE: "MY ART" "IT'S JUST PLAIN OLD COLORFUL FIREWOOD" ........................Mini Bio........................... Native Floridian, Born 1952 Currently reside Florida, central east coast. Self Taught artist started painting in 1996 My art is earth friendly and reduces green house gas. I use materials that were destined for the landfill. I recycle and salvage everything in making my art except for detail paints. All primer paints, base coats and other materials like wood, wire, tin and picture frames are items that are found or given to me. Most pieces have slight imperfections such as holes, dings, chips, saw marks, or other imperfections and flaws that further make every piece a true "OOAK" one of a kind piece of art. My art has been sold to and is or has been on display at: *American Fish Decoy Museum *Kamloops Art Gallery and Museum - Kamloops Canada *The Buzz Sudio Gallery - Michigan *The Black Dog Gallery - Cocoa Village, Cocoa Florida *Paradingchicks Gallery - Columbus Georgia *So-oh Fine Art Gallery - Lincoln Nebraska *Sun Cruz Casino - Port Canaveral Fl I hope you enjoy my attempts to recycle, salvage and reduce green house gas by creating earth friendly art, that makes you smile.
