The Art Of Robert Louis Ferrucci
Contemporary American Folk Art
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.

I like painting Birch Trees in this folk art style. The uneven texture of the trees and strong contrast black and white barns grab your attention. I use black and white often in my barn paintings. The strong use of browns gives this country painting an earthy feel. Most of my paintings have tinting and glazing. Sometimes I tint the entire painting after it is almost complete and then paint in the details again. If a specific area needs special attention, I may just tint the one area and then work it up again to a more complete finish. Some paintings have as much as 5 layers of tinting. Most of my work is acrylic with some oil pastels.

I use black and white often in my barn paintings. The black and white along with the golds of the country field and pink sky make a nice contrast.

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.
