Sharing Another Artist: Debbie Shirley

Today I thought I'd share with you one of my favorite acrylic artists: Debbie Shirley. I've been following her for a few years and to be honest I don't know how I came across her but I am so glad I did!  I have followed her for professional and personal inspiration. She is a mother of 3 boys and I admire her ability to balance everything so well.

When I first found her, she created smaller paintings which appealed to me since I also have a preference for creating tiny paintings. She now is expanding her portfolio to offer larger compositions. Debbie describes her style as "contemporary realism meets roadside retro". Her subjects include food, her son's toys/games, classic cars and retro neon signs. Her renderings are accurately executed with intriguing compositions and clever titles.

I really enjoy how she takes everyday objects or a roadside scene to create her beautiful works of art. She uses lighting and perspective to give ordinary objects and places a new life and personality. Below are just a few of my favorite paintings.
