Painting Donuts will never get stale.

Much gratitude to Sam Whiting and the San Francisco Chronicle for the recent story about my donut painting exploits. I've been painting these timeless icons since I opened my art studio long ago in part because All Star Donuts have consistently been making the best classic donuts up the block at 10th avenue and Clement Street. I also paint subjects from the produce markets but the donuts have a unique allure due to their nostalgic whimsy. In April six of my donuts became a permanent display at the new Genentech building in South San Francisco to pay homage to the previous structure on the same foot where donuts were made. I had a big Donut exhibit at my studio in 2008 and perhaps it's time to create another? In the meantime my donut art can be found at CK Contemporary Gallery near Union Square in downtown San Francisco. I also have a few at my studio. Indulge!

...in the window box.

These two paintings have been in and out of the window box alternating with the jumbo flaming marshmallow. Apparently I can't help myself. Baseballs and donuts seem to always find there way on to a canvas or panel in my studio.

...chocolate raised robustus.

A species thought to be extinct has been discovered hanging in my west window at 10th and California. A 48" x 48" chocolate raised donut robustus!!

...pinwheel geometry.

Donut and Plum.

Two paintings from a continuing series of square compositions that I've been creating over the years at my art studio. Even completely different subjects can play well together.

Sometimes it's best to walk away from a painting before it appears finished. It retains a vibrant character and then suddenly unfinished becomes finished without any finishing. Sometimes.
