CREATOR
If there ever was a time when life took a big turn, this year was that for me. I would have to say that 2013 will always be remembered as a year of change for me. Some things for the better, others not so much. But that’s the same for all of us, I suppose. As my friend Frank likes to remind me, “Life is a never-ending series of temporary events.”
Presenting the all-new official A.D. Cook online store for original handcrafted fine art on canvas and metal and Collector Series editions.
Beautiful from any angle, Liz in ADROR takes pause by the window as light dances across her body, She is calm – simply waiting, pearls in hand, as the warm light embraces her. She waits with great ardor.
For the first time ever I am offering SOLSTICE as a limited-edition collector series, available on canvas and ready-to-hang in two sizes: Full-size 24″ x 72″ (limited edition of 95 signed and numbered) and two additional sizes as open editions.
Among my figurative paintings created within this last decade, BACKDRAFT is definitely among my most renowned.
Picture perfect paintings… or perfect picture paintings. Either way, I’m excited to share that my book project is moving along nicely.

I was out earlier and someone wished me a “Season’s Greetings.” It was the first time this year that I’ve heard holiday cheers as we transition into cooler months and shorter days. I love this time of year. It’s a festive season ~ all about gratitude, blessing, and remembering the ones we love.
My favorite creative times are all about the time I enjoy at the easel. But a lot more goes into a painting than just easel time: photography, preparation, painting, the finished work – all that and more goes into creating a successful artwork that my collectors and I can be proud of for a lifetime.
FAST FORWARD is my return to painting shiny surfaces in truly original epic artworks celebrating a unique lifestyle of exotic cars and inspired settings.
Years ago, when I moved my life and studio from Portland to Las Vegas, I left behind a collection of paintings wrapped and safely stored in a climate-controlled storage facility. Among those pieces were a couple of very special paintings that haven’t seen the light of day in years.
Last week, I posted in my blog that it’s always fun to post art from the past. Over the last few days, I’ve added three large original paintings from 1993-94 and an illustration from 1988.
