| 2/16/11My goal is to paint every day. Whether it happens or not, is another story. This month (February) I am working on many small paintings. I find that they have charm being a petite size. They can hang on the wall like a collage, or be dispersed through an array of framed photos of travels and interesting perspectives. My current whim in this month of small paintings, is to paint clouds. Traveling light through the atmosphere with soft and bold clouds working in harmony to create composition. We'll see what transpires...

12/22/10 | James and I are getting busy, our to do list is mounting up. Its great to share the news with you. Currently James has four commission paintings to create. I have one commission painting. Together we are working on an opportunity to paint a store front sign on the historic Haight Street here in San Francisco. Also, we have the opportunity to do signage for Autobahn Cafe in Oakland. Autobahn Cafe has great staff, great espresso drinks and food. Be sure to go there, you'll agree its worth it.
January will be a busy and eventful month for us. We hope we can get it all done!!

6/16/10I never write anything personal here. I never mention what I am working on, striving for, even pondering.... i've been told that has to change! o.k. but I don't read many blogs to follow by example. So here goes an attempt at a start.
So I'll just jump in?
James and I are about to do a crazy amount of work in a short amount of time here in San Francisco. What have we gotten ourselves into? We've been asked to paint several murals for a restaurant with HUGE WALLS, and lots of 'em. Each mural is to look like it was created in a different decade from the next, and by a different artist.... and this blog entry will be cut short and to be continued, I have to get to work.... right now James and I have to go do some color matching at another location.
------
Now its later in the evening and there are two 8 foot by 8 foot large panels of wood to paint on, freshly primed and ready to be started. I've acquired a new studio space just for these works, but, wait, I can't reach the top! So I've made a new friend, named the step-stool. I have a feeling we will be very acquainted before the first of these many murals is finished. It's going to be a tight fit in studio with all the large panels that will accumulate shortly.
The restaurant these murals are going into is under construction so we have to work off site, then dismantle them for transportation and then hang them up for show. The place will be called Pedro's Cantina, located between 2nd and 3rd on King St, SF. You'll have to come check it out in August!

5/8/09A new endeavor
I've been working on commissions and personal works for years, they will be continued, meanwhile, a new challenge is arising. James and I have come together to bypass the canvas and paint straight on to walls.
We are focusing on an array of artistry from faux finishes of all sorts to completed floor to ceiling paintings. We are offering full painting services, from prep work to finish.
For more information click on the link titled, 'Finishes and Murals for your Home or Business' I'll be adding more details as we progress.
Also, be sure to check out James' oil paintings, he's a talent!
