“No matter what the medium I employ my tendency is to start in soft washy tones of color. Many of my paintings utilize thin collage material which I generally try to disguise so that hidden images appear to the viewer over time.  As a retired architect buildings and industrial structures quite often appear in my paintings.  A patron once noted, regarding an abstract, a love of drawing is evident in my paintings. That is the kind of statement that keeps my going.” – Mel Grunau

Mel will have small watercolors (11″x 15″) to large acrylics (30″x 40″) available for purchase at the event!  Most pieces will be unframed, and he offers a variety of pictures including realistic as well as abstract paintings.  All contributions support COTA for Team Cormack in Honor of Jaina and Chesley .  Stop by to purchase a beautiful piece of artwork for yourself and your loved ones!
