Spring is here!
And the sun is out in San Francisco! Here’s some new art to celebrate. Click on any photo to see more detail. I’m really liking working on multiple panels for one piece, so this may be a continuing trend. I’m not sure what the next one will be, but I’m already thinking about it …
Christmas Commission
Ah … holiday week! And no far-flung travel plans that can be horribly delayed by rain or blizzards or anything else. Since November, I’ve been working on a triptych of paintings for a client who had planned to give them as a surprise on Christmas. I finished the paintings a couple of weeks ago, but I […]
Rock, paper, x-acto knife
Here is some finished new work! First, Old Stone I and Old Stone II. They’re 24″ x 12″, acrylic and paper on canvas. You can see earlier photos and the inspiration behind them here. And Paper Flower is also done. It’s 36″ x 24″, acrylic and newsprint on canvas. I’ve been talking about this one […]
Sticky Fingers
That 96″ tall canvas is still in my office. But I had some ideas about what to do with it this week, and I’m trying out some of them on a 36″ x 24″ canvas. I have been thinking about curlicues and curlicues make me think of quilling. I called around and found some quilling […]
So long low season?
I’ve been thinking for weeks about working on some new paintings. I wasn’t quite ready to dive in until today, though. Last Sunday, I ran the Big Sur Half Marathon. It was fabulous and gorgeous and my time was 10 minutes faster than the half marathon I ran this past February. My improved time really […]
Thank You Notes
I went to write thank you notes to the people who bought my paintings this weekend, but my tasteful taupe cards suddenly looked WAY too boring. So I decided to make each note more interesting by doing a little work on the back.
That Watch Needed Numerals
I have been considering adding some numerals to this painting for awhile. I finally got around to it tonight. Here is an early photo: Ahhh. Much better.
Fabulous Flowers
I love my friends. This morning around 11, I returned to my desk to see the red message light lit on my phone. That light rarely means “SPECIAL DELIVERY” in a good way, but today was an exception. Look what had arrived for me! I brought them home tonight so I could enjoy them in […]
Birthday Art
Today is my sister’s birthday. When I asked her a couple of weeks ago what she’d like, she politely suggested (again) that I could give her some art. She has asked (politely and repeatedly) before, but I wasn’t quite sure what to paint for her. Also, I was only working on big pieces for awhile, […]
Flower Power
I have been so busy lately! I’ve been getting ready for the “About” tab along the top! Big thanks to douche-free bio) And then, of course, there’s last Saturday, which I decided I needed to spend swimming and running … Anyway, the bottom line is I have been setting aside less and less time to […]
