Water Tower Sketch

Water Towers remain as popular as ever, everyone just loves them and we are fielding inquiries as to personalized pieces, whether it be bands {see above, Rock N Roll } or peronal messages {You Are My Sunshine} so if you'd like to lay claim to some real estate contact me here to discuss a commission. I quite like the high contrast between the white tower and the mod symbol.

It's interesting when I render these because you have to put yourself on the ladder, you have to imagine how far the "artist" in the painting can reach.

The first piece is a nice bridge for the work from "Silver" where there are two light sources at work, fire and moonlight. The second image is a very obvious thank you to the Cameron House for the long relationship I've had with them as a Gallery, as a Church, as a Concert Hall,a Theatre, etc. So it just felt right to add this to the "Silver" show.

"Jamieson Rock and Roll Farm" acrylic on canvas, eighteen by twenty four inches,

{SOLD}

I've realized it's not as much about the water tower as it is coming up with something cool to vandalize it with, which is a case of art imitating life, if you think about this kind of stuff, I do ,so you do't have to.

It's Only Rock and Roll, 20x24, acrylic on canvas SOLD

One of the most rewarding aspects of showing your artwork are the stories you collect . The Water Towers that I paint never fail to bring out a mad tale of highschool pranks, dares and vandalism. This particular painting was inspired by a story I was told by my friend Tony. The water tower in his home town faced the high school and Tony and a friend bravely ascended the ladder to the top to write" It's Only Rock N' Roll" on it's face. Tony was painting "It's only" while his pal was in charge of "Rock N'Roll" - I'll assume they were in a hurry as his friend forgot the " 'N" and for the rest of their highschool years the Water Tower read, "It's Only Rock Roll".

If you have water tower stories to share please send them along to madcraftshoppe@hotmail.com

many posts and new work to come this weekend, all the best
