The Art Of Robert Louis Ferrucci
Contemporary American Folk Art
This large country folk art painting of a country farm has a strong, rough, yet pastel look to it. The painting was done with acrylics, then worked over with oil pastels to give it this effect. The prints show the rough texture with the lines of oil going across the painting in different directions which give it a peaceful, yet lively look.

The most striking thing about this Contemporary American Folk Art piece are the strong, primitive shapes. The prominent, odd shape of the house on the upper right, the trees and the stark lines of the barns and roads give it character. It conjures up the patriotism of a simpler time in American history. The bold colors work well with the strong lines of the primitive shapes.

In the summer 2011, on a very hot day, I did an outdoor demonstration of drip painting. You can see some of that day on the video on the right. It was so hot I was soaked through. My shirt was completely wet. This drip art painting was the focus of the 2 days, although when it was drying I did do a little work on another painting. I worked for 2 days and then took the abstract painting home, put it on the easel and did many more hours of brush work. Small details create the bright feeling of this splash art like taking out a little yellow and adding a little blue, a touch of red and just a little more black. That’s how I finish most of my paintings. The original was sold that day at the gallery demo. One of my very best customers and a good friend bought it for his daughter. After it was finished I told them to take it home and see if it worked as they hoped. They told me after putting it over the fireplace nothing else would do.

This is a fun abstract painting that has both a strong left to right flow and an intermittent vertical movement. A blue slate background with energetic black lines moving vertically with turns and lines give it a strong, lively feeling. The vibrant greens create the left to right dynamism and the red hues help to separate the two ideas. As in most of my work, you will find plenty of tinted colors and layers of painting with a lot of brush work on the surface to control the movement and help the eye travel the width and breadth of the painting. The strength of the lines and the shapes give it the mechanical feeling and power.

This is another abstract painting where movement is the key. In this drip art painting I wanted to move around the canvas- falling off the edges but continuing the movement. It has a powerful feeling like a wave or storm at sea. The change in colors and shapes from left to right are dramatic and seem to get deep like a dark ocean on the right side. Dripping and splashing the paint and layering over and over creates the overall feeling of the painting which is similar to the work of Jackson Pollock.
