I 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!

A few announcements: Our work is on view at KTLN Studios, 100 Pelican Way, San Rafel CA. Write us an email to get you in touch with the right person to set up a viewing time or stop by. The reception date is TBD. The painting titled 'Sink or Swim' by Janelle is currently on view by appointment only at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art through March 2010 We are excited to announce that James is currently preparing for a large solo show in October 2010, at 79 New Montgomery Gallery, at the Academy of Art University, San Francisco, CA.

Its been fun working with James on projects, collaborating and discussing. We are showing some samples of our mural, faux and accent work, not all is included. We have a show coming up so we are working diligently to keep the ball rolling. More info to come soon.

A 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!
