Island #2

I went with a friend to Point Richmond and saw this beautiful island. I wish I was there.

Campfire #6

Many thanks to everyone who came to my open studio on Sunday. It was definitely a spot of light, a warm flame. Afterwards we had a salon with poetry and art and dancing and chocolate.

Taking Flight #3

I sketched this painting at a meeting that was going too long.

Flying Away

Monday morning. How I would love to transcend the old patterns.

Party on Stage

Pause, celebrate, ignore the ever-present audience...

Solo #2

"The black clamshell"--out on stage, singing into the invisible audience. Not unlike painting every day and wondering if anyone will see, or raising kids without the big picture, or casting a vote and wondering if it matters.

Woman on Beach

It's that beach time again, sand in the shoes, the old plaid tablecloth drying out in back. This time I took four teenaged girls who dug in the sand like puppies.

 

Four of my paintings will be on sale at half price at the 17th Annual Artists Warehouse Sale at the SFMOMA Artists Gallery at Fort Mason, San Francisco, Wed. May 5 - Sun. May 9. The staff hangs the work salon-style with more in the racks, and the first night is especially hectic and exciting. Preview them on the Artists Gallery Facebook page.
