The Art Of Robert Louis Ferrucci
Contemporary American Folk Art
Alyssa is the name of one of my granddaughters. This idyllic, country painting is named after her because she is very delicate and loves soft colors. The reflection of the lake in this folk art painting, combines with the pastel colors for a calming affect. My granddaughter paints and draws all the time and is really very talented. Someday I hope we will be able to do a show together.

This American folk art painting is a good example of the use of oil pastels. The sky has so much oil pastel work on it that the appearance is almost like fabric hanging over the rolling countryside in this quiet rural setting. The work was started with acrylic, then came the tinting and re-painting of a few layers. Then, when all the primitive shapes and forms were in place and the painting looked almost finished, the oil pastel work began. My reason I used the oil pastels was to create a texture on the surface. I like the primitive look, almost like crayon, that it adds. It’s something I can’t get any other way.

The simple lines and minimalist quality of this primitive style painting makes it one of my best selling folk art prints. The surface of the German watercolor paper makes a beautiful texture that enhances the contrast of the bold blues and bright whites of this rural horse farm. The tinting is clean and creates a soft, almost watercolor look to this rolling country landscape.

My effort here was to create as much movement in this drip art painting as I could. I wanted the paint to move around the canvas, falling off the edges but keeping the movement even after going off the edges. The whites and reds break the movement but not enough to stop it, and green creates a center background that helps the painting balance. Bits of yellow throughout this abstract painting are just enough to help the motion in a jetting way. It was inspired by the work of Jackson Pollock. I like it. I hope you do, too.

This is an expressionism style painting of bright yellow flowers on a pale pink background; a moody painting with lots of tints in a variety colors. There is an effort to keep the subject undefined, lost, almost totally abstract. When viewing the flowers you can see they are lacking in any definition. To create this effect, a soft repaint and tinting is needed with many layers of work. I used shadows and light to help the strong golds and greens push to the center, giving the flowers the most attention in this abstract painting.
I have had the opportunity to paint commissioned works for many customers. If you see something you like but it has been sold or is in the wrong size, I would be happy to create something similar but original. I work with all sizes, from large corporate work to small pieces for your home. I require a 10% non-refundable deposit.
