Open Studios – June 27th and 28th

I know that this is months away, but I am happy to announce that I will be participating in the East Bay Open Studios (EBOS) in June. This year, I decided to show my work at the Firehouse Arts Center in Pleasanton. It is a beautiful, inspiration-filled setting and a perfect downtown Pleasanton location. I know that it will be a wonderful stop on your open studio tour!

For me, this is how it typically starts when doing a still life. I like to make sure that the background color feels right. This is a classic case of using the complimentary color (red and green). It is also the time when I step back and make sure that I like the positioning/composition of the objects. I will add more details as I go!

a fun day of art and music in Livermore!

I got over to the studio this morning and did some more detail work on this painting. It is not finished, but I am happy with the progress so far. Gum balls are tricky! They have very subtle color changes to help them look more like a sphere shape. I’ll keep working on them!

We saw the “Living Large” exhibit at the Bankhead in Livermore, CA. It was a nice show and it was fun to run into some wonderful (and talented) artists. It’s always fun to hear the jazz offerings of Matt Finders and friends. I can listen to them all day!

The Living Large show runs through March 2nd – if you are in the area, check it out! It inspired me to work bigger!

I am happy with my progress on this painting. I haven’t worked on a larger sized canvas for a while now.

Looking forward to spending some time in the studio this weekend – and it is a 3-day weekend for us! Bonus day!

New small paintings (6×6)

I am totally having fun making these small canvases! Chuck Taylor Converse sneakers are my go-to shoe! I think all of my pairs have some paint on them. I consider that a badge of honor! I will be bringing them over to the Livermore Art Association Gallery or they are available on my Etsy Site

These are colorful – I chose bright cheery colors to capture the happiness that these shoes brings! This will perk up any room!

Do you have a favorite color or memory connected to your Chuck Taylor sneakers??
