I am pleased to post this news! My latest still life painting (as of July 28th) was selected by by art critic Brian Sherwin as a "Staff Pick" from all artwork recently submitted to the Fine Art Studio Online (FASO) website. It's certainly gratifying to have my work noticed in this way and to be included in the company of two very fine fellow artists, whose work is included in the article below. I thank Mr. Sherwin and the FASO Staff members.
My humble little copper kettle, recently purchased at the antique / thrift store only last week, is now famous! Who wudda thunk it??

Copper Kettle with Oranges and Strawberries by artist Bruce Hancock - selected by Brian Sherwin

art of painting.

dazzling collection is a joy to observe.
