PICTURE OF THE WEEK: Batavia, IL Artist, Ed Cook, Shares His Latest Mini-Masterpiece, "Soaking Up the Sun"

Ed’s miniature acrylic paintings have been recognized with inclusion in the Whiskey Painters of America and Miniature Artists of America where he holds a Signature Membership. He’s also an inductee in the Illinois Senior Hall of Fame and the Fox Valley Arts Hall of Fame.

Here's what Ed says about the barn above:

"It was a barn that I saw several years ago along Route 47 just south of Sugar Grove, Illinois.

The barn is long gone but alive today in this memory, although I did take a few artistic liberties with it."

For the past 30 years, Ed has been represented by River Gallery in Chattanooga, Tenn. Art BEAT Buzz appreciates his generosity in sharing his latest works with our readership! It's always a joy to see his artistry. ###
