Springtime

garden-greeting

I love spring!  I’ve been painting with spring in mind.  I just dropped off a series of new work to Studio 7 Fine Art in Pleasanton, Ca last week and they already sold one of the new vineyard paintings.   I will be exhibiting in their May exhibit titled “Florals and the Feminine Figure” opening May 6.    Be sure to stop by this lovely gallery.

Also continuing through May is a group show of Northern California Landscapes including “moi” at Robert Allen Fine Art in Sausalito, CA.  If you are in the Bay Area this is a beautiful gallery to visit.   Robert has been in the San Francisco gallery business for decades and opened this gorgeous space several years ago.   I am always blown away when I see how aesthetically engaging his exhibitions are presented.    That and his warm and inviting personality make for a positive experience for the gallery browser or serious collector.

Meanwhile, back in the studio, I’ve been continuing with my abstract drawings.   These are wonderful meditations for me to produce and I enjoy the back and forth between the two series and the way they relate to each other.

Abstractions

SD1

For many years I have been going back and forth between my representational work and a more line centered, free flowing series of drawings.    Returning to this work for me is like returning to my roots in drawing.    These are about process, discovery and redefining nature as perceived on the page.    I’ve had my head, heart and hands in these for the past month or two and wanted to finally start sharing them more universally.    The full series can be found under the Title of “Abstractions” on the right side panel.
