It’s that time of year – small, giftable, shippable, affordable art, even in a time of covid could be a nice thing. After figuring out I could offer free shipping on all my recent ‘squares’, I signed up for a virtual art market run by Artspan which allowed people to visit my ‘booth’ (live video… Continue reading Artful Gifting 2020

The El Rey Theater
My friend Linda who edits the Sundial, the newsletter of the Ingleside neighborhood in San Francisco, asked if she could use my recent photo of the once-upon-a-time movie theater on Ocean Avenue. I was flattered. Here it is. The El Rey opened on November 14, 1931, with Maurice Chevalier in “The Smiling Lieutenant” and had… Continue reading The El Rey Theater
So, I’ve Gone Square-Happy
I’ve now completed 12 10″ squares and 3 11×14″ panels in my Intersections series and started on a new series called Orbitals. It’s just so much fun! Here’s an image of all the ‘Intersections’ (even though some look like mothers & babies; some like flowers or a dancer and some just what they all are… Continue reading So, I’ve Gone Square-Happy
In the Galleries for November
Kind of crazy to have work in three different galleries this month, but there it is! As the month opened, I have three pieces in the Reflective Show at the SFWA Gallery, 3 more pieces at the Mission Street Drawing Room Annex’s ‘Future Tense‘ Show and for the first week of the month 3 of… Continue reading In the Galleries for November
Post Open Studio – Time to Catch my Breath
My last post was nearly a month ago. I certainly haven’t been sitting around wondering what to do with myself, but today I’m determined to bring my art recording a bit more up-to-date. The show at Live Worms ended; The Virtual Open Studios is over (though for some indeterminate time into the future, the virtual… Continue reading Post Open Studio – Time to Catch my Breath
Back to Abstracts and prepping for my Art Season (!)
Since my last post I did several abstract pieces, but only one this month – in the beginning of this apocolytic wildfire time, this one got born. I call it Combustion (click to see larger image). An other exciting event that kept me away from my art supplies was getting invited to participate in the… Continue reading Back to Abstracts and prepping for my Art Season (!)
August
First, it’s like a breath of fresh air (not something we have much of these days) to have some of my work on the walls of a bricks and mortar gallery! The Abstract Thinking show scheduled for April at the SFWA Gallery is now live until September 29th. I had all three of my abstract… Continue reading August
July was a quilt kind of month
After splashing out in some new abstract directions, I needed some structure for a bit. My July Quilt Series (currently with 4 pieces) gave me a meditative process choosing tones and varying contrasts. I would love some comments. I did also do a few abstracts – you can see them on my Mixed Media page!… Continue reading July was a quilt kind of month
And then it was June
After the murder of George Floyd and the worldwide outbursts against the horrors that have been going on for decades, June didn’t start on an upbeat. Somehow in my funk over the state of life, and with Covid-19 still imprisoning those of us cautious enough to avoid the public, a piece of art emerged. It… Continue reading And then it was June
COVID Month 3
So, during the first full month of Covid lockdown I experimented with styles and then did several ‘abstracts with meaning’. The experience of touching, tearing, arranging, layering, and with NO DELETE BUTTON was exciting! The first four of these have a heavy dose of torn grocery bags as the base. Then just about the… Continue reading COVID Month 3
