Painting On The Streets Again by Larry Lerew


#12-04-06
Title: "Painting On The Streets Again"
Size: 10" x 10"
Location: en Plein Air Dillsburg, PA
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Panel
Artist: Larry Lerew

Hi everyone, I'm a new member and excited to share my art and be active with the Daily Painters of Pennsylvania. This painting had a cute happening. I was set up in front of my pick up truck painting on the street and a young mother and her kindergarden son stopped to chat. She said her son saw me painting on the way to school and when she picked him up from his half day session he wanted to see the artist and the painting. The little guy was amazed as I showed him how I used a brush to capture the simple shapes and colors laid out before us. They only stayed a second but it was fun to share.

To see more of my art check out my website and blog:

Hi Larry -- Welcome to the group! Like your painting very much. I have a friend whose preferred medium is acrylic but who is a novice at plein air painting, and she's feeling a little lost right now. I'm going to share your post with her to give her some inspiration!

Welcome to the group! I'm sure you will enjoy it here-it's a wonderful group of people. I enjoyed seeing your piece and the story behind it. Always so important to share with the little ones. Sounds like you sparked an interest in art with the little guy-that's wondeful. I like the angles and lines in this painting and saw the wonderful paintings on your site. Such expressive happy pieces. Looking forward to seeing more of your art.
