Inspired...

"Campground" (acrylic, 16x20")

I'm trying to find solace in the weather, although it's sometimes too stiffling and oppressive for my liking.  Hopefully I can channel my energies and continue to create art.  -Erico

Martini Girls Exhibit:  I Forgot My Glasses...

"Warrior Princess" (acrylics, 30x30")

... is the title of the exhibit that opens August 28 at Art*Bar in Milwaukee's Riverwest.  I was asked to create a piece for that exhibit.  This painting is based on some combination of Picasso-style works.  I was very grateful to be asked to participate....and, surprisingly enough, the judges awarded this piece with an HONORABLE MENTION ribbon!  I paint as a means to release some creativity and because I enjoy the challenge of creating something from nothing.  Being recognized for this effort is a great supplement to the process.    -Erico 

Playing Around...

"Chair A La Picasso"  (acrylics)

This was fun!  It provided me a bit of an outlet during this horrible pandemic!  I hope to do more.  -Erico

"Un-Times" Our new reality: un-earth, un-health, un-comfort, un-work, un-together, un-family, un-happy... times.

"Un-Times" (acrylic, 12x24") April 16, 2020

Thankful...

"Life With Mommy & Daddy" (acrylic, 16x20)

Ever grateful to my physical therapist who has gotten me through some rather painful times this summer, i painted this for him and his wife... for their new house is Sun Prairie!  Best of everything to you, Lucas.  -Erico

Inspired once again...

"Sunrise Celebration" (acrylic, 36"x48")

Inspired once again by the amazing women in my upcoming production of THE CEMETERY CLUB, I am drawn to the light and the colors and the music and the dance.  -Erico 

"Three Holy Women"...

"Three Holy Women" (acrylic, 30"x40")

Another painting inspired by the women in my current theatrical production of THE CEMETERY CLUB.  I'm enjoying the process of studying other artists and being inspired by their creations.  I may create more "three women" paintings to include in the lobby of the theatre.  -Erico
