Adele Etcheverry Sheets, "Ladies’ Rendezvous”, oil on linen panel, 8x10”, $175 framed. My intention is to paint these three beautiful cyclamens in a new US trending style, which I admire. Disrupted Realism started on the East coast in Philadelphia. Artists in the San Francisco Bay Area quickly absorbed it. Through the past year, I have experimented with Disrupted Realism. I like the idea of keeping realism but also distorting it to tell an interesting story. Currently, I am developing a collection of works that I intend to post to my OSAT virtual gallery in May 2021.
