Linnea Pergola Original Milk Can London In The Spring
Artist Linnea Pergola has transformed this old milk can into a unique artistic creation. Scenes of London on a spring day surround the can in brightly colored painted. The artist's experience traveling in London, and her imaginative style, combine to make this truly original cityscape. The images are accented by whimsical borders composed of a skyline, and shopping bags from some favorite London stores. These bags are actually miniature bags that have been cut out and affixed to the can. * Artist: Linnea PergolaTitle: "London In The Spring"Medium: Acrylic on a metal milk can Signed: "Linnea" appearing in the headlamp beams of a double decker busSize: 23 1/2 inches high, 13 1/2 inches in diameter at the base, and 9 inches in diameter at the opening Condition: Excellent; the dents, mostly on one side, were present before the painting, and they go along with the artist's intention of giving a natural, rustic appearance From the country to the big city--this painted milk can mixes old time rural simplicity with historic urban sophistication.
