A Creative Spring

The oil painting above, “Mt. Tamalpais from Richardson Bay”, 30 x 25″, was created with the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival poster in mind. Stay tuned for details.                                                                                                               We’ve been busy painting & gardening and usually look forward to sharing our art & garden during May Open Studios, now canceled. We’d still love to see you, one or two at a time, if you’re interested in seeing what’s new in the garden or on our walls. Please email or call, (415) 453-3648, for an appointment. We’ll respect all social distancing rules. Wishing you a safe and healthy spring as we care for one another.

 

Kathleen & Steve continue to show their artwork by appointment through December.

Those who missed our recent open studio, have out-of-town family or friends, shopping for yourself or others, all are welcome to call for an appointment to see all our artwork in our home gallery & studio. Please don’t hesitate to call! There’s no obligation and we love showing our work. (415) 453-3648. Evenings and weekends are fine, too!

Three small paintings: “Mt. Tamalpais from Bon Tempe Lake”

These three 7″ x 12.5″ oil paintings on canvas are done from Kathleen’s love of this place. Both Steve & Kathleen spend a few hours a week along the shores, often running around the perimeter. Currently, the lupine is blooming in large carpets of purple. These paintings will be on display at our May Open Studio, as part of Marin Open Studios. May 4 & 5 and May 11 & 12, from 11 am to 6 pm.

“Storm Clouds on the Bay”, Kathleen’s new 24″ x 24″ oil.

This view of San Francisco Bay from Larkspur is part of our 40th annual Open Studio exhibit & sale.

Reworking an old favorite, found while preparing for this weekend’s Open Studio.

“Hidden deep in my layers of archived paintings are gems I’ve forgotten about. This piece, “Lake Lagunitas from Pilot’s Knob” is a small piece, but didn’t seem right when I came upon it recently. So, I taped it up & reworked it, trying to stay true to my original intent. I won’t have time to frame it by this weekend, but I’ll have this one & a few others I reworked in bins.” Steve
Our Open Studio is from 11 am to 5 pm, this Saturday & Sunday, December 1 & 2, @ 38 San Francisco Blvd., San Anselmo. Hope to see you here!

Steve again delves into interiors with this new acrylic painting, “Lobby”.

Steve’s work takes on several trails of adventurous seeking. The calligraphic shapes & architectural structure of one body of work, affects his next vision in his landscapes. This 10″ x 15″ acrylic painting on paper, continues a branch of work that falls into an “interiors” category. The shapes & structures evolve until it feels like home.
