UPDATED PHOTOS BELOW
I was out photographing the full moon that came out around 5 pm, and an hour later we heard about the fire that by 7 pm, had me packing. I took a few more photos having my camera out, (I couldn’t resist, as horrifying as it is!) We’re okay, packing as I write to head north to Santa Ynez. [click to continue…]

It’s November and in addition to my birthday, I’m anticipating a show at the Artiste Winery in Santa Ynez! I’ll be sharing a room with my delightful sister Lily in our debut joint art show. It feels auspicious, but I know it will be more so if you all can make it to the opening reception on Saturday, December 6th, from 2-5 pm. I’m meeting with the manager/curator of the Santa Ynez location on Monday and will post more details afterword. I’d love to see some supportive faces in the crowd, as it’s a bit scary to be putting so much of my work out in the public for the first time, well— ever, really! The opening reception will overlap with a wine and culinary event at the gallery, so if you enjoy wine tasting, it will be an added bonus to enjoying Lily’s artwork and my own.
Here’s a little piece I’ve been working on. It’s only 5″x7″. I started it long ago and had not worked it since.

The C Gallery is a gem! I haven’t had a piece in the shows yet, but I’m keeping my eyes out for an appropriate theme to submit one of my paintings.
The latest show “Pop,” was a mix of whimsical and touchingly deep. From pieces designed from popcorn kernels and popsicle sticks to a piece on “popping pills” in order to survive a series of heart surgeries.
Connie Rohde greeted guests in a 1950′s inspired garment made partially of bubble wrap, which would occasionally pop in an embrace! Here she is with daughter and business partner Nina:
Karina Puente with her piece centered on “The Story” of her family’s roots:

I was in Seattle and couldn’t make it to the reception to a show at Art Resources, but Rob took some great photos for me. I had one painting in the show.
“Thank you for calling” was the title of the show, and was primarily the work of Rafael Perea de la Cabada, and a few up and coming artists of his recommendation. [click to continue…]

It’s been a busy couple of weeks! The portrait below is going in a small group show at Art Resources at 512 E. Haley St. from October 4th to November 4th. (Hours: M-F 9-5:30, S 10-2.) The art reception will be on October 11th from 5-8 pm. Unfortunately, I will be out of town and won’t be able to make it, but come anyway and meet the rest of the artists. The main body of work will be Rafael Perea de la Cabada’s studio artwork. Also featuring art by Heather Mattoon, Jonny Troyna, and several others.
Here it is in progress: [click to continue…]

I started a copy of Frida Kahlo’s Self-Portrait with Monkey yesterday on a lovely recycled 11″x14″ canvas. I’ve been tempted at every point to call it quits because I love the juxtaposition of the abstract shapes and wonderful brush strokes and colors of the background with my homage to Kahlo.
Here it is around noon: [click to continue…]
