Moving along in my art journey, I challenged myself to create a series using a very limited palette until I ran out of 10 inch squares. I finished the fifth one today – a bit into April, but I’m please with what I did and how I felt as I was doing them. I settled… Continue reading March and a bit

February Clearup
I’ve had an assortment of 5 burlap covereed boards and stretched canvases for several years, stacked in a closet and totally verginal. I decided the time had come to make them into something. It seemed to me the 3 burlap boards wanted to be landscapes, something you won’t have seen since I started doing mixed… Continue reading February Clearup
Abstract and Whimsical heading to North Beach
I’ve fallen in love with squares – These little 10×10″ babies are easy to work on, easy to transport, require no frames and cost less than their larger relatives. So far this month, I’ve made 7, sold one immediately, and just brought 5 (plus one from December) to the Live Worms Gallery for their February… Continue reading Abstract and Whimsical heading to North Beach
And on to something new…
After 21 panels of ‘doodle designs’, I’ve moved on, for now at least, to more complex, layered and textured designs while still working on wooden squares. Here are two (left one already sold!). The buyer was kind enough to send me a photo of this piece in situ. I love how the figures on the… Continue reading And on to something new…
Artful Gifting 2020

After figuring out I could offer free shipping on all my recent ‘squares’, I signed up for a virtual art market run by Artspan which allowed people to visit my ‘booth’ (live video… Continue reading Artful Gifting 2020
Post Open Studio – Time to Catch my Breath
My last post was nearly a month ago. I certainly haven’t been sitting around wondering what to do with myself, but today I’m determined to bring my art recording a bit more up-to-date. The show at Live Worms ended; The Virtual Open Studios is over (though for some indeterminate time into the future, the virtual… Continue reading Post Open Studio – Time to Catch my Breath
And then it was June
After the murder of George Floyd and the worldwide outbursts against the horrors that have been going on for decades, June didn’t start on an upbeat. Somehow in my funk over the state of life, and with Covid-19 still imprisoning those of us cautious enough to avoid the public, a piece of art emerged. It… Continue reading And then it was June
COVID Month 3
So, during the first full month of Covid lockdown I experimented with styles and then did several ‘abstracts with meaning’. The experience of touching, tearing, arranging, layering, and with NO DELETE BUTTON was exciting! The first four of these have a heavy dose of torn grocery bags as the base. Then just about the… Continue reading COVID Month 3
