Description
Anne Reese Hernandez | 20” x 24” | acrylic paint on canvas | Eyepatch and Pupsey
These are my two dogs I had for a long time. The little brown dog had a skin condition. I gave him special baths at the wonderful Vet on Yale St. He had a thyroid condition . But the medicines and the baths did not work. Though he didn’t look so good he always had a great zest for life. The Vet said he was a trooper though he was sick and in the end had cancer, he never gave up and still lived a long life. I lost him first and I thought I would at least maybe have Eyepatch for another year but her kidneys shut down a month later and I lost her as well. Now I have my precious Rosie who is my best friend.
There are many ways to make a stand as a preservationist. Artist Anne Reese Hernandez not only lives in a charming turn-of-the-century Victorian cottage in the heart of the Houston Heights, but for nearly 20 years she has painted and drawn scenes from the neighborhood – historic homes, churches, shops and local period architecture.
Most of the historic structures depicted in her work are still intact, and rendered in a folk art style, featuring cheerful and bright acrylic color on canvas, a match for Victorian houses, and colorful gardens. Anne also works in watercolor on paper, and there are works which are all pointillism. Her images are windows in time, quaint and compelling. Her work is widely collected and she is a prolific painter who has been showing for decades.
