"Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can."
    – Danny Kaye

A great quote but many times an artist expresses life with more than paint. This holds true in Robert Ruggiero's "Hardware Canvas Series." These paintings are Robert's first use of hardware store elements combined with the bright and bold use of acrylic paint. He describes it as his expression of "organized abstraction."

These contemporary abstracts have been shown in San Antonio, Texas and in Sacramento, California at several galleries and shops. The bulk of this artwork has been sold.
