Preparation


Preparation can take a while. Depending on what I am preparing for, it can take a full day or two. Stretching and gessoing multiple large canvasses, or researching anatomy, or taking photos can take time. If I take all the prep work into account, I would say the finish art pieces are the result of 50% research/prep and 50% painting/drawing/doing/making the actual art.

After being sick for a while, the last few days have been days of recovering and prep work! Canvasses, sketches, art supplies! Here are sketches of previous work... recognize which pieces they go with? On to the next sketch!

Changes are Interesting!


Because the galleries on my website have recently changed to a slideshow format, I have rearranged the order of my work to show the newest and latest painting as the opening image. This is only for the Concrete and Concept galleries. This way, you would not have to keep clicking to get to the latest piece, and also, you can check back and see any changes made right away! Changes are interesting!

New cityscapes and drawings just done and over with, and more to come.

Yes, changes are interesting. Once in a while I love to sketch in ballpoint pen. And I like to sketch wood grain.

City Streets

Come see the city this Sunday!

You should come, not just for the city of San Francisco itself, but for different views, visions, and expressions of it. Come check out City Streets!

The opening reception is at Studio Gallery and I am happy to be showing with many great artists! If you can't make the reception, at least stop by while the show is up. It will be up starting this Wednesday until September 4th. See below for more information
