New sign painting on a scrap piece of wood

Hand painted signage on a piece of luan. Inspired by the book “Creepy Carrots” by Aaron Reynolds and Peter Brown. Published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. This book has become a favorite of my daughters and there is one particular page that really got my attention so…

New work - Fairground food signs on paper

New hand painted sign on printing paper.

“Pop Corn” enamel, acrylic, and latex paint, 18.75 x 26.25” 2021
This sign is a bit of an oddball in that there are stripes and such, but it just felt appropriate. Perhaps when I get the whole series done it won’t look so different.

If you didn’t know:
Popcorn (popped cornpopcorns or pop-corn) is a variety of corn kernel which expands and puffs up when heated; the same names are also used to refer to the foodstuff produced by the expansion. A popcorn kernel's strong hull contains the seed's hard, starchy shell endosperm with 14–20% moisture, which turns to steam as the kernel is heated. Pressure from the steam continues to build until the hull ruptures, allowing the kernel to forcefully expand, from 20 to 50 times its original size, and then cool.”
