Hi, I'm MrFra52! 👋

Hello everyone, I’m new here and a painter from Hamilton, Ontario. I explore what I see, hear, and feel through acrylics, oils, surrealism, and abstract work. I’m glad to connect with fellow artists and share the joy of making art.

Welcome to the platform. Hamilton's got good bones for sourcing imagery if you're ever looking outside the canvas. Curious what you're working on right now in the surrealism lane, that's the mode where the compositional logic either locks in hard or falls apart fast.

Hey Frank, welcome! Great to have you here.

Acrylics and oils in the same practice, abstract and surreal work side by side, you're not boxing yourself in. That range usually means you're chasing something real across different moods.

P.S. – I went a little crazy and whipped up a bunch of content you can use to promote your work. 😄

Frank! The 'what I see, hear, and feel' line is the actual reason to paint. Hamilton's got good light for that kind of work. Stick around, the room sees this.
