ERNIE BOYETTE specializes in acrylic. Ernie’s work https://www.aviationartstore.com
About Ernie Boyette: I was not always an artist. I was a professional business type guy. Then in my 40’s I got bored and started painting on my kitchen counter. Like a child I got as much paint on my counter as I did my artwork…and then. I grew up and I got better. I knew what I had to do! I was going to paint Man Art! I paint army tanks, ships, airplanes, cars, no Bambi, no flowers…a few naked women. I paint railroad cars and engines, trucks and Pink VW’s! I do! Anyway…I just wanted to say hello…I now paint…MAN ART!…Just sayin.

KATHY PLANTE Kathy’s work https://Www.facebook.com/katherineplanteart
About Kathy Plante: Art has been a part of my life as long as I can remember. Experimenting with various forms of art keeps life interesting and challenging at the same time! A background in fashion illustration makes me more ‘project oriented’, thriving within the parameters and time constraints of a particular job. 3-D assemblage, collage, and painting in oils are of particular interest, though mural painting tops them all at present. Working with the Art Guild on the town’s water tank was a joy, and I hope to have more such opportunities in the future.
