I’ve been experimenting with watercolor papers. I’m really growing to like this Boahong cold press paper. Thomas Schaller described it as painting on pebbles. You can see this effect in the foreground water. “Pacific Grove Iceplant,” 7x10” #watercolor #boahongwatercolorpaper #pacificgrove

A watercolor I painted of one of my favorite places, Point Lobos. I had fun with layers of color—this mediums strength. #watercolor #seascape #pointlobos

I sometimes wonder what life our self portraits will have after we pass. Will they be loved? Appreciated? Don’t know, and maybe I shouldn’t set expectations. Oil, 12x9” #oilpainting #portraitpainting #selfportrait #contemporaryart #figurativeart #lifedrawing #contempoarypainting

We live near a Space Force launch site. We can see a few launches a week. This one was particularly dramatic as it was right over us very close. They make a sonic boom which upsets a lot of people. It’s the future.

Two shows out of the way. Time to plan another. Maybe contemporary figurative. Study, acrylic, 11x14”

I’ll be the featured artist at the Welcome Castro shop in San Francisco on Friday night (5-9). They will have plenty of my work, including new art, like this Mission District painting. See you there! #missiondistrict #missiondistrictsf #gouachepainting #sanfrancisco #sanfranciscopainting #cityscape

Quick figure study in gouache. I’d love to scale this up into a large studio oil painting, although difficult to do. Have you any tips for creating large works from studies? #gouache #painting #figure #oilpainting #contemporaryart #contemporaryfiguratvepainting
