In addition to showing new works by Suzy Kuhr and myself, this month we are featuring the art of Mary McDaniel of Healdsburg. Expecting a festive evening!
A blog about art in general, and painting in particular. And about learning to see....

Plein Air Morning
Spent a beautiful morning doing plein air work in Armstrong Woods with my friend and amazing artist Douglas DeVivo of The Blue Door Gallery in Guerneville. Douglas worked on plein air collages and I painted. As always, the tranquility of nature provided perfect inspiration.

"River Watch" finished & sold!
I loved painting this photo of the Monte Rio bridge. The reference photo was taken by my dear friend, Steve Pedersen. It sold to another dear friend from San Francisco.

Added just a few more details after this photo was taken (to add more of a feeling of light). It sold right away 😊

Tomales Bay
Celebrated the new year with one of our favorite rituals...an excursion to Tomales Bay to eat oysters & paint. It was beautiful, but quite cold this year, so after our oyster feast we found an indoor spot to paint (at Gourmet Au Bay in Bodega Bay).

Bodega Bay
Lola & I enjoyed a wonderful painting excursion to nearby Bodega Bay one day. Too cold to paint outside, so we found a room with a view (and champagne) at Gourmet Au Bay.

Lola in the studio!
Photo makes studio space look more cramped than it is....Lola & I had a great time painting there today!
Studio time!
My friend Lola is visiting from Spain and I am on winter break from school, so we got to paint in the studio today!

In progress
Photo is too dark, but this is a painting I am working on. Trying to capture the soft light that was on the coast that day.

Painting & Laundry
Today I worked a bit on 2 paintings I started en plein air a few months ago. I couldn't finish them then because I was with my old dog and he was extremely restless that day. I hope to finish them this week.
Fun reception!
Artist's Reception for my show at Betty Spaghetti restaurant in Guerneville was held yesterday evening & was a blast. Delicious wine (made by my own amazing wife!) and appetizers were served, lots of people came, and 3 paintings were sold! A bunch of us stayed and had a wonderful dinner. What a glorious evening!

Painting Day
Spent a lovely morning painting in my studio on Veteran's Day. Thanks to all who have served our country! It was a very cold morning, but beautiful, warm sunlight streamed into the studio, making it very cozy.
