Basketbottoms

Hello welcome to the channel. I am an amateur folk art artist. I do primarily paintings of land and seascapes as well as culture from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I have a bohemian soul, so I do at times drift off to other areas of art, but I love the rustic charm and primitive feel the land I call home still has. I try to catch the offness, the unpolished feel in my paintings. I am self-taught and do mostly the basket bottoms which are authentic bushel basket bottoms from here used for seafood. I clean them, prep them, border them then seal them with a gesso. I use a midbodies acrylic paint then seal them again with a flat acrylic sealer. I do however use canvas as well. I can be reached through Facebook Basketbottoms or my email. The bottoms make great door crowns, and gifts, and I have done commissions for everything from farms to pets to workboats to cars. I hope you enjoyed, and thanks for stopping by...
