These are some examples of some homes I have painted. I have had great reviews for all of my art work...tears of joy, and I love bringing wonderful memories of houses that are no longer there. They make wonderful house warming, Birthday, and Anniversary presents. I do homes, business and keepsakes. I take the local photos and I will instruct you how to take photos for me if you are out of town.
Framed to 16 x 20 your art measures 11 x 14 personalized custom portrait of your home for $350.00.
If you want it for Christmas please order early to be added to the list. For more information call 504-251-7046 or gerryartist@yahoo.com.

1.     This is my hand. I’m going to use that hand to start a project which I am calling “My Year in Art”. It’s a 365 day project where my goal is to create one piece a day. I always like to try different mediums and am constantly learning new things. about art and about myself, so it will be fun to see where this goes over the course of a year. Hope you enjoy taking this journey with me!!about art and about myself, so it will be fun to see where this goes over the course of a year.

I am never at a loss for something to draw. When I was at RPI College of William and Mary we had to fill a sketch book a week. I got used to drawing hands and salt and pepper shakers and many other things that do not seem like art subjects. This was my first business card. Once a lady came up to me at Three Rivers Art Festival and said "I know an artist that paints great shot gun houses her name is Gerry Cottrell"...I had to tell her that, "that is me."
