Local Organic

Local Organic

original oil painting, 12x12 SOLD

Studio Gallery

Real Food Company is a market on Polk Street in Russian Hill.  Local Organic is a painting of the oranges and lemons on display on the sidewalk.  This month, Studio Gallery has a show called "94109" that features paintings in the zip code where the gallery is located.  I was originally drawn to the color of the fruit, but after I started painting, I found the reflections and shadows in the window to be interesting.  There are some long flourescent lights and small spotlights that you can see through the windows.

Transamerica Pyramid at Sunset

Transamerica Pyramid at Sunset

original oil painting, 14x11 $550

Elliott Fouts Gallery

The Transamerica Pyramid, built in 1972, is the tallest skyscraper in the San Francisco skyline. The building is a four sided pyramid with two wings that house the elevator and stair case.

The warm light on the pyramid's crushed quartz facade, gives the building a warm glow at sunset.

The cliffs in Santa Cruz at the Hook - at the end of 41st Avenue on a sunny day. An angle from the beach, usually I paint from above.

Fort Mason, San Francisco

Fort Mason, San Francisco

original oil painting, 6x6, SOLD

Elliott Fouts Gallery

We've had warm sunny weather this winter, so I've been painting with a friend at Fort Mason. The buildings above are part of the Golden Gate National Park Headquarters.  I believe it was all part of the Presidio - at least the architecture is the same.

The low sun angle and dry weather create more intense colors in the landscape.  The Canary Island Date Palm casts a striking silhouette against the white stucco buildings.

This painting is reminiscent of my Southern California paintings.

This painting is in a show called "Huge" at Studio Gallery. (Although the painting is only 12"x12".) Looking North on Taylor Street you see the Bay, Alcatraz and Angel Island.

There is a concurrent show titled "Tiny" which includes three of my 6x6 paintings.  Stop by Studio Gallery in San Francisco to see the beautiful new gallery space on Pacific Street. You can chat with owners Jen and Rab who are super nice.

A view from West Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz. Near the center of the painting are steps down to the beach to an area surfers call Steamer Lane. The Beach Boardwalk is in the distance.
