Fade to White – Artist Statement
I’ve been fooling around with some square business cards for Sanchez 50 I 50, you know the kind with a new image on each one…this will be the back with my contact info and painting care instructions.

La Estancia
I had the chance to paint with the Los Gatos Art Association’s Plein Air Group a few weeks ago at La Estancia in Los Gatos. I’m afraid I don’t get out with them more than once or twice a year but I always love it when I do manage to break away from the studio. They are such a great group of talented artists who generously share tips and ideas. …

Love a Pop-up!
I do love a pop-up – here today and gone tomorrow – did you catch it? I got a note from Frank Interiors that there was going to be a pop-up market place held at Linda Benenati‘s Saratoga art studio on Saturday and I had to go, missing Frank as I do since they closed up shop earlier this year (too cool for Los Gatos). Nothing says fun market place …

Innocent Celibacy?
In a Victorian world where bachelors buttons signify male celibacy and daisies refer to innocence, a bouquet of both would leave you with innocent male celibacy. That’s quite a bundle for a little teacup yet here it is with this “Elizabethan” teacup from England – 1940s or 50s I’m guessing:

Street Art at Stockton & Taylor
Sadly, it seems I’ve been spending more time behind the wheel than in front of my easel this summer. Happily, there’s something to see while driving about. I’ve particularly enjoyed the local street art the intersection of Stockton and Taylor where there is a sad concrete underpass. Someone had noticed it was in desperate in need of some humanizing! For me, this spot combines color field painting with elements of …

Corpus Corvus
I ran into a crow today, or rather, I think someone else did, with a car. And with Fur Feathers and Fins opening in just a few days at the Pacific Art League and dead birds being on my mind for a while now I just had to gently scoop it up and take it back to my studio for a closer look. Nothing compares to studying the …
