Studio Harvest Art Sale this Saturday!

For those interested in the artworks that are integral in the development of the creation of a large painting I offer a small series of seven harvest paintings for sale this Saturday at my art studio from 1pm to 5pm. 

Each artwork is an oil painting on panel and measures 10" x 20" and is ready for hanging. Studies are often more loose, spontaneous and explore possibilities that inform the ultimate finished piece. I choose to make them for that reason. They are an important step for me and my process of discovering and distilling imagery for big art. 

Please inquire if you are interested and cannot come by. San Francisco offers many delicious diversions on these warm weekend days. I'm grateful to everyone who walks through my art studio doors to see what I'm making. Thank you!

The 6th Annual Summer Studio Drawing Sale!

Join us this Saturday and Sunday 6/28-29 for drawings galore! 

Everything begins with a drawing. It's the most primal form of artistic expression. Whether it's charcoal on the finest French paper or charcoal on a cave wall. Whether it's graphite on Mylar or ballpoint pen on a bar napkin. Whether it's a pen and ink masterpiece or a doodle on a used envelope, drawing is the essence of creativity. Come and see!

Any questions or requests please call (415) 751-4232.

...snapshots near home.

I know this corner of the city so well that it is often completely unknown to me. Growing up in the outer Sunset and now living in the outer Richmond is a short distance to travel over a long period of time. My grade school and high school are surreal icons visible from my kitchen window. The windmills are windmills again. After what seemed like so many years in Los Angeles I've been continuing to rediscover this town with the eyes of an artist. LA is so long ago now but remains vital in my evolution of looking at the overlooked. And now I am here. I'm somewhere familiar yet always finding fresh perspectives.

...shrubbery.

Anonymous shrubs in conversations unheard....

...more strolling.

Wordless haikus.
