Tiny Show at Studio Gallery

There is still plenty of time to see the "Tiny Show" at Studio Gallery.  The show closes on December 23.  There is so much great artwork to see by 200 local artists.  Jen and Rab did a great job curating and  hanging the show.  All the work is under $400.  Very affordable and perfect for gift giving.  Who wouldn't want an original piece of art?

There were so many red dots on walls at the opening reception on November 11.  I was happy
to learn that 2 of my paintings sold before the show opened.

What to send to Japan for the exhibition in October?

"Low Sky", "Point Reyes", "Coast Fog" and "Night Horizon" oil on canvas 12" x 12"

I was invited to participate in a group exhibition at the Museum of Kyoto and the Sakai Cultural Center in Japan in October.  I have to give the inventory list of what I will send by July 1.  Choosing which paintings to include in a show is never easy for me.  I was grouping and regrouping paintings through out the day trying to figure it out.

Because of the high cost of international shipping and my allotted space in the exhibition I'm thinking small work.  I've narrowed it down to two groups of four paintings each painting 12" x 12"  I will also send four 8" x 8" and  six 6" x 6".    

"Night Vision", "Jenner Fog", "Last Light" and "Along the shore" oil on canvas 12" x 12"

I will be traveling to Japan in October as well to see the show in Sakai.  Part of the time I will be participating in a home-stay with a family in Sakai and I'm hoping to visit friends in Tokyo for a few days at the end of the trip. It's been 8 years since I was in Japan.  In 2004 I was an artist in residence at KAIR in Kamiyama on the Island of Shikoku.  Before that I lived in Tokyo 2001-2003.    I can't wait to see what's changed and if I can remember any Japanese!

A favorite painting

The Hill, oil on canvas, 24" x 30"

The Hill happens to be one of my favorite paintings at the moment.  The purple and yellow color combo is complimentary and appealing.  I am also drawn to the brush work.

Often when I am in the car as a passenger or the driver I will hold my camera up to the window and take random photographs.  Back in the studio I sort through the images looking for something interesting.  This photo was taken on the drive from Yosemite National Park to San Francisco.
