Welcome to Open Studio in December

My final chance to share this year’s work and catch up with new and old friends

Visit December 2 & 3, 11–5. 1568 San Lorenzo Berkeley. That’s 1 Block north of Solano at Peralta.

Wild Sky, Field Station (with geese), 2023, oil on panel, 12”X 24”

Here's my final chance to share this year’s work and catch up with new friends.
Holiday gifts, home decor, mental health boost: Original art enlivens a home!

I'd love to spend a few minutes in deep looking and conversation with you.
In addition to large pieces, I have Inspiring small landscapes, tiny paintings of my birds, digital prints, or note card collections ready to take home.
Or brainstorm a commission!

Studio is 1 Block north of Solano at Peralta. Look for signs.

Larger pieces on view to pique your interest, possibly in a commission. I’m looking forward to having the discussions that come with deep looking together.

DeYoung Open Bay Area Artists Exhibit

I’m so pleased to be included in this mammoth exhibit of local work! This piece is from a foggy spring day at Pt Molate Park. Molate Quonset Huts 18” x 24.”

Celebratory Opening Saturday, September 30, 11–4. Member previews the Thursday and Friday before. DeYoung Open info. The show continues thru January 7.

Finally, I'm able to host an indoor class!

So much is possible with simple objects.

Tuesday morning still life class in El Cerrito starts August 15.
Are you itching to paint, but repelled by iffy conditions outdoors?
Indoor still life painting can help you boost your painting chops. Quirky colorful setups, congenial environment, comfortable studio.
With a controlled set up, you concentrate on basics: composition, drawing, and color.

ColorSpace Arts just off San Pablo Ave in El Cerrito. It has great light, ventilation, a bathroom and work sink. There are tables and some easels for student use.

Six Tuesdays 10–12:30

Space limited to 8 students, vaccination required

She chose my piece as her favorite, but there were lots of great pieces.
