Open Studios weekend one - warm and sunny on on Alameda Island. Come check it out next weekend!
While hosting at my Open Studios, I’m “painting” metallics on the iPad. First pass, maybe finish tomorrow! #eastbayopenstudios #artmurmur #frankbettecenterforthearts #frankbettecenter #ipadpainting #ipadart #electronicart #stilllife
EAST BAY OPEN STUDIOS
My piece "Purple Pitcher w/Persimmons" will be available for online bidding and in-person viewing at 111 Minna Gallery for ArtSpan’s 2023 Juried Benefit Art Auction!
The snow has been fun - since we are coastal Californians and don't have to slog through it very often! A friend sent me a photo of dog-walking in Minnesota and it reminded me of some of those wonderful snow scenes that the impressionists did. The Magpie, by Monet, is my favorite - so peaceful. I've never painted snow before, that I remember, so thought I'd give it a try. #dogpainting #dogpaintingsofinstagram #contemporaryimpressionism #art #oilpainting
...practicing more metallic surfaces. I admire people who can do the "lost edges" - while trying to "get" the shapes I really lose the lost-ness!

a young lady

While I often paint using a limited palette this young lady required more colors. She is so fair and blonde, her features become just mildly prominent. I like to try to get a feeling for the person while painting, and, to me, her face seems to shine kindness, fairness, even-temperedness, and I’m sure she is all of those things!

face 54 – iPad drawing

This one was done in Autodesk’s Sketchbook Pro, which I hear is no longer available in the app store. My stylus accidentally went through the laundry, but it seems to be no worse for wear. One feature I wish I had was pressure-sensitivity.
