Folk Art Melon" is painted in Acrylic on Canvas…the cracking is deliberate and adds to the appearance of antiquity in early American Folk Art

Hot day,
cool pink fleshy fruit,
sipping off the rind thats dripping…can’t get enough,
Spitting out some seeds, love to see them fly,
aim at my friends like a gun fighter,
once again a bullseye…
Laughing and cutting up, chewing on that rind,
another piece to ease the heat…
I’m loving summer time…
Rays that shine memories make me wish it would never end,
Watermelon dreams shared with my good friends …Jeffrey Scott Pelsang
I paint in many different styles and feature a myriad of subject matter, which I show as individual collections….
I am inspired by the world interpreting it in brilliant colours, often influenced by the writings of famous authors and poets..

i love the cracked look on this well painted
I do a lot of cracked work…it’s my favourite effect, but it’s unpredictable, depending on the weather etc….

On cracked or fragile finishes I use a special polymer sealer, matte and gloss mixed, to give a satin finish….I may do many layers until I feel there is sufficient protection of the surface…I don’t like a shiny appearance, so I finish with matte only…
