- Anne Skok Roosters & Hens Acrylics on Masonite 4'x4'
- "..Americana executed with wry humor..."
-
- The style, in my mind, can only be described as Picasso meets Grandma Moses.
- The colors are bright, and each painting is bordered in colorful stripes,
- with a big, contrasting "SKOK" signature scrawled across the bottom.
-
- I picked up a price list. They are all $900 each. For $900 you can
- have an acrylic-on-masonite 4'x4' rooster painting entitled:
-
- "Hot Cock"
-
- ps this is ALL TRUE. I couldn't make it up if I TRIED.
