Original oil paintings from Southern Maine
Beautiful paintings with a dark streak.
Original oils and archival prints by Russ Renshaw, a self-taught painter working in Southern Maine. Still lifes, nostalgic pixel paintings, and everything a little haunted in between.
Original paintings
One of each. When it's collected, it's gone.
The pixel paintings
Every pixel, painted by hand.
16-bit sprites rebuilt square by square in oil paint. Part nostalgia, part patience. Small enough for a shelf, strange enough to start a conversation.
Holiday pick 16-Bit Mario — $150
Prints, from $35
Archival prints in several sizes. The easiest way to start a collection, and a good way to give one.
Commissions now open
Portraits, pets and places, painted by hand.
Russ takes only three commissions at a time, in oil on canvas or on a digital canvas. Half reserves your slot, and the rest is due only after you've approved the finished work.

The artist
Self-taught, slightly subversive, Southern Maine.
Russ Renshaw has spent more than 20 years making things: photography, design, and oil paintings. He paints from his home studio in Southern Maine, drawn to the natural world around him, the games he grew up on, and the shadows that sit beside him.
His work hangs in private collections across the country.
