SUNNY DAY ESTUARY

I was trying to get the light key, as well as thinking about the tree shapes in a  Lundy Siegrist painting I had seen at Epperson gallery the weekend before. I don't usually use such a riot of colors- taking some risks with the palette knife.

LIMANTOUR ESTUARY
Limantour beach is a hidden gem in Marin County. This estuary view is just outside the beach area, looking south.
I want to share a link to a San Francisco org that gives 100% of donated funds directly to citizen relief efforts in No. Japan~  http://www.jcccnc.org/giving/index.htm

FIGURE 51

Stephanie is a favorite Bay Area model. There was  a gallery show of art-works  just of her a few years ago.  Artist-models are more than just subjects, they each bring something personal and special to the exchange. Besides their physicality, their inner qualities get transmitted to the artists and hopefully show in the work.

GREY DAY WINDOW VIEW

I look at this house across the street from my kitchen window many times a day. I love studying the effects of weather on this familiar view. I plan to do more of these in different seasons and times of day, reminiscent of Monet's haystack series.
