This painting is in excellent condition and has only been shown in a gallery setting. From the artist:" Sweet Symphony in Whites is inspired by James McNeill Whistler’s three symphony in white paintings. My paintings, like Whistler’s, have multiple layers of meaning. One is the use of a single color and its relative tones as the end intention of the work. By doing this with representational subject matter, the painting is attempting to bridge the modernist aesthetic of ‘art for art’s sake’ with traditional realism. On another level, as Whistler’s paintings have been interpreted as a loss of innocence, so too do mine deal with this loss. There is the loss of innocence in Art from its classical representation in the form of the Venus de Milo to its scientific study in the form of Da Vinci’s Vitruvian man to its final manifestation as a commercial product/celebrity in the form of Andy Warhol and Elvis. Furthermore, there is the loss of innocence of the artist himself in the form of the action figure toys and sweets he had as a kid to play with and eat but now which are used as metaphors and painting subjects. Furthermore, the hydrangea, as in all my work, symbolizes the ephemerality of life." Pat Hobaugh...

This painting is in excellent condition and has only been shown in a gallery setting. From the artist: "This work depicts a Presidential talent show, with Bill Clinton receiving his scores for his saxophone judges, while Hillary (as a nutcracker) stands looking like a judge as well. The painting is really about two things. First, how we turn politics and campaigns into talent show contests, with the media/television personalities standing in as judges before we even get to the actual election. Secondly, it's called "America had Talent" because we always think past presidents were better than current ones. The Greek vase in the center is a reminder that none of this is new, this type of treatment of leaders and elections has been going on for millennia- (Judgement of Paris). And the hydrangeas, as with all of the hydrangeas in my work, represent the transience of the situation depicted when placed in relevance to overall time. " Pat Hobaugh...

G.R.A.S. (2) 2021 Acrylic and latex on collagraph mounted to wood 11 x 10 inches (unframed) 14 x 13 museum quality frame. An acronym for "Generally Recognized as Safe", a US Food and Drug Administration designation for artificial additives, G.R.A.S (2) tells the story of a surprising natural ingredient: castoreum. A milky substance with a sweet scent found in the castor glands of beavers, castoreum was once used to create artificial vanilla, strawberry and raspberry flavoring until it's own collection process became unsustainable. Today, ethyl methylphenylglycidate, commonly known as strawberry aldehyde, is a chemical compound used in the flavor industry in artificial fruit...
