Is this done yet

Dramatic change on this painting this weekend. It wasn't working for me so I went back in. It is starting to look like something.

Working on it

I did this collage from images in my sketchbook as a way to guide me in my new painting.

new painting...con't

More work done on this painting. It's about to change drastically. Not really happy with this direction.

Start of a new painting

Started a new painting this weekend. 3'x4'. This one is going to take a while. These are the early stages. Stay tuned.

New Work

I have created some new portrait-type illustrations. They are up on my web site. Check them out.

New Art Showings!

FRESH PRODUCE at Anno Domini Gallery in San Jose, CA. Opens Dec. 5. I have 10 pieces in the show. They make great gifts-all work in the show is under $250. Above piece is one of 10 that I have in the show. Contact Anno Domini for purchase.

BLUE SQUARED at Vino Paradiso in Portland, OR. I had 2 pieces in this show. Dec. 3-Jan. 4.

San Francisco Trip

Just got back from a weekend trip to San Francisco. Love that city. This view is from Fort Point just under the south side of the bridge. I love to walk from Crissy Field to this spot whenever I go to the city.
This is the new California Academy of Arts and Sciences. Even though it's been open for a while now the line to get in was very, very long. Worth the wait. It is an amazing place. Great for kids. It's a natural history museum and an aquarium. I especially liked the green building features.
Restaurants
Eating is a big part of travel for me. Went to a few new places in S.F. this time around. I recommend: Chez Mamman-a small french bistro on Portrero Hill, Laiola-Spanish Tapas on Chestnut Street in the Marina and Paul K on Gough in Hayes Valley.
