Cooper Crafts Hand-painted Antiques & Collectibles by Cheryl Cooper
Brush & Blush, A Traveling Art Studio My name is Cheryl Cooper. I have been painting all my life.

In high school I used oil paints on canvas. Then I began to experiment with oils on metal. During college I was introduced to acrylic paint and fell in love with this quick drying medium. I categorize my painting into 2 eras: B.C. (before children) and A.D. (after driving). As a school teacher, I needed a stress reliever, so the idea of painting became a natural outlet. Before our children were bo

rn, I painted for family and friends. I also taught a painting class thru the local adult education network. When our children entered the driving stage, I found I had available time to begin painting again. While teaching an entrepreneur unit in school, I too decided to put into practice what I was teaching so I began my craft business. I started by doing 2 local shows. As the years have progressed, I have managed to maintain my craft business while still teaching full time. When I retire I hope to direct my full attention to my painting. I enjoy painting all types of subject matter for various reasons. When I paint snowmen, santas and angels my main concentration are the eyes because I believe they give the figure magic. The eyes of wildlife are also important to bring the animal to life. When I paint buildings, especially old barns, I look for specific details which give them character and make each unique. It is so rewarding to see the delight which my painting brings to a person who has special ordered a painting of a personal place or memory. This is why I began to paint on antiques and collectible items. I view it as a way of recycling the old by giving it a new life. I try to match the subject matter with the item I paint upon. I also enjoy going to antique shops, auctions and sales, so both of my passions work together into one art form. I guess you could say I have the best of both worlds!

I need to clarify my last post -Scott had knee surgery this spring and after the first 3 months of steady shows his knee has become too stressed. I can’t do the shows without him so I decided to cancel those shows. I will still set up at Cape Christmas Extravaganza at the Osage Center because it is an easier set/up. Thanks for all your concerns!
