"Great Balls of Fire" by Sherwin Long


Acrylic painting on canvas 
size:8"x11.5"
This painting is about me and my addiction to candy. I am sleep walking to the gum ball machine and using my super powers to melt it and eat all the candy. I painted several layers on the canvas then scraped some off in certain areas and thats how I created the texture. I painted the gum ball machine then the flame pattern after. I really like this painting because it is a metaphor.

"Lady Boston" by Sherwin Long


medium: Acrylic
size: 16"x 20"

I made this painting to represent the relationship between land and sky. A love story of two that will never touch but shall forever watch over the other. I wanted to be a little more poetic with my art because it allows me to have fun and be intellectual.
