Surreal, with love
Midnight Matinee is a personal favourite among my large canvas Blue or Nothing paintings, and its appeal extends to an audience who has shown its appreciation at shows and exhibitions over the years.

The flower children of the 1950s
After Dark and Night Shade are the latest Bev Hogue original blue art creations. These paintings, and their digitally rendered NFT companions, illuminate the Populuxe period of the late 1950s, when head vases and other figurines found their way into post-war living rooms.

In the painting iToons, I revisit cartoon icons from childhood that never really lost their appeal. Another early influence — nature’s innocent and strong figure of a deer — continues to intrigue. The painting… Continue reading Revisting childhood chums
