Bulldog Cafe

This is one of my latest paintings which is in the current show at Art Plus Gallery in W. Reading, PA.  I was researching the artwork of vintage posters for a commission I was working on and  became interested in some of the designs and bold, flat colors that are often used.  I decided to meld my style with the style of these posters and came up with Bulldog Cafe!  I have another one hanging in the gallery which features a Rooster! (Come back Monday to read about it!)  And, I have a few more ideas floating around in my brain that I'd like to realize on canvas in the near future.... This style is a lot of fun because of the added text and the bright, playful images.  I did a lot of designing on Photoshop first to get the initial image which I then transformed to my style... Lots of fun!
The image below shows the painting framed with one of my solid wood floater frames that I make.  Enjoy!
