An evening with Olde E

Yes, of course I know that it is bitter, heavy, and uncouth. That is the point of celebrating it. Without any pretence it is simply what it is and it is proud of it. When you drink Olde E you send a message to the world that you are down with your beverage for a reason other than flavor. Carry it out on a busy urban street with you and crowds will part way from your path. I have had my share of Olde E and I am a better man for it today.

For those of you that can't figure out how a painting of a can of Olde E can be considered adventure art, just try drinking 3 of them during your next lunch hour at work.

This painting is an oil on stretch canvas. It is 24" x 36" and is currently available for purchase at ChrisGeremia.com

Campbell Creek Impression (Revisited)

Found at the bottom of a steep decline was this small winding river. It offered a cool and shaded spot on the shoreline for some painting. It took a few trips up and down the hill to get all of the materials in place. In spite of slipping down the hill and getting my skin scraped up it was overall plenty relaxing. This location offered a moment away from the view of others, but was still within hearing distance of the road. This is the 20" x 20" original studio version of the 8" x 8" plein air original that was produced on the shoreline. It is richly textured and multi-layered in cool greens and muted oranges and yellows. The strong light focal point is echoed in the light froth of the lower rapids. Tie a hammock between any 2 trees and kick off your shoes. This impression with a fantasy leaning is guaranteed to calm your soul.

This painting, the plein air 8" version, and others are available for purchase at ChrisGeremia.com.

Biff Playing Air Guitar

This original artwork was inspired by events that took place many years ago. It is a gritty war scene featuring the condemned rising out of a cloud of billowing cigar smoke to make a final stand. With his brain already pickled in alcohol he knows that he must make one last heroic air guitar performance for the crowd. As 'Rock you like a hurricane' plays he reaches a state of perfection and delivers on his wish. In true warrior form he maintains his stoic presence and does not spill a drop of magical punch.

This is a 24" x 36" oil on stretch canvas. This painting is in a private collection in Houston, TX, USA.
