Your Garden Variety Penguin

Abstract

"Using classic trompe l'oeil techniques and other mural painting devices, the penguin looks like a fantasy garden perched atop a base of weathered rock and mossy stone, covered in draping ivy. Its beak looks like the sun, with the colors of a beautiful Ohio sky on his head. A summer garden, Gazebo, and trees finish the effect." Brenda Myers Cohen studied advertising at YSU and works as a freelance artist. She is most noted for her large mural paintings and decorative wall design, and her work has been exhibited in numerous area venues, including the YWCA Women's Art Show, Jewish Community Center, YSU Summer Festival of the Arts, and Butler Institute of American Art.
