Still painting all the time; learning; enjoying; producing; redoing; reworking; replacing. One more week to go in this adventure. Here’s what I’ve done this month so far: There will probably be one or two more before the month and the course ends. Two will also be on display in September, the first time my paintings… Continue reading AUGUST 2021

May 2021 – Spring is here; Restaurants are Open; and I have lots of art on gallery walls…
Until mid May my “Keeping Up” is part of the juried TEXTtural show at the Live Worms Gallery in San Francisco’s North Beach – until Sunday May 16th. And, in addition to the diptych, Dreams of Spring 1 & 2 being in the collage show at the SFWA Gallery, I also have a wall in… Continue reading May 2021 – Spring is here; Restaurants are Open; and I have lots of art on gallery walls…
April Activities
Three main efforts in April, plus one do-over. I woke up one morning in a whimsical frame of mind and produced a pair of cheerful, folksy ‘squares’, both of which were chosen to be in the May collage show at the SFWA gallery.They are called “Dreams of Spring” #1 and #2. Another even more whimsical… Continue reading April Activities
March and a bit
Moving along in my art journey, I challenged myself to create a series using a very limited palette until I ran out of 10 inch squares. I finished the fifth one today – a bit into April, but I’m please with what I did and how I felt as I was doing them. I settled… Continue reading March and a bit
February Clearup
I’ve had an assortment of 5 burlap covereed boards and stretched canvases for several years, stacked in a closet and totally verginal. I decided the time had come to make them into something. It seemed to me the 3 burlap boards wanted to be landscapes, something you won’t have seen since I started doing mixed… Continue reading February Clearup
Abstract and Whimsical heading to North Beach
I’ve fallen in love with squares – These little 10×10″ babies are easy to work on, easy to transport, require no frames and cost less than their larger relatives. So far this month, I’ve made 7, sold one immediately, and just brought 5 (plus one from December) to the Live Worms Gallery for their February… Continue reading Abstract and Whimsical heading to North Beach
And on to something new…
After 21 panels of ‘doodle designs’, I’ve moved on, for now at least, to more complex, layered and textured designs while still working on wooden squares. Here are two (left one already sold!). The buyer was kind enough to send me a photo of this piece in situ. I love how the figures on the… Continue reading And on to something new…
Artful Gifting 2020
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
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
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
