The Welcome Shower - Joe Enjoys The Denver Rain

"The Welcome Shower"  a mixed media delight by Derek Cadena and Brent Rodgers.

Here's another one of the Joe illustrations we showed at CoArt Gallery this month.   We photographed the image of Downtown Denver from Diamond Hill.  This spot has to be the most popular location for shooting the Denver skyline, the view looks like a postcard or a screen saver.  The Welcome Shower is one of our faves!

The Goose Tamer - Whip it good

The Goose Tamer is a new mixed-media acrylic photo transfer original that Brent and I both worked on. We showed this Joe for the last First Friday art walk.  Brent spent a day at the park rolling in crap to photograph the image that was used to make this piece... I hope you like it. Mounted 8" prints available on etsy and ebay!

Atomic Grotto - A 2LF Co-Creation

"Atomic Grotto"  features our favorite hero, Joe, chewing over the other half of the battle.   The original acrylic/mixed media piece by 2LF is hanging at CoArt Gallery in Denver (contact us for availability).  We are selling the mounted print version of Atomic Grotto online, visit our etsy or ebay stores to see more!

A Rainy Day Drive - Brent Rodgers

I love Spring!  The cloudy wet cool mornings that glow with rich green plant life are some of my favorite moments of Springtime. A Rainy Day Drive is the latest in the Fruitville Girl series, illustrating that perfect moment.  I imagine she is zipping down the road, rockin out in her VW with not a care in the world.  Check out her ad on etsy here!

2LF at CoArt Gallery in Denver - by Derek Cadena

If you're just visiting or you live in Denver, you have to stroll up and down Santa Fe Drive's art district.  First Fridays (every first Friday of the month), are Denver's busiest nights for art gallery patrons and collectors to see what's fresh and new. 

We have joined CoArt Gallery at 846 Santa Fe Drive, between 8th and 9th street.  We will have new works hanging every month, and there are 20 more artist members, so, there's plenty of art to look at, and buy... Come on down, enjoy some refreshments and help support the arts, and the artists!

The March Harvest Oddity - By Derek Cadena

Last weekend, after the snow had cleared and the ground thawed, Brent and I pulled some forgotten root veggies that had been sown last Spring.  The parsnips and carrots were boiled together and pureed, it was delicious.

One huge beautiful freakish parsnip was saved from the boiling pot, it was a perfect subject for me to paint! I even dressed up the still life set with draped red fabric, creating a proper stage for exploiting my subject.
