Hope you can make it.

Squaw Valley -July 1, 2 & 3 2011

I'll be in Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe this coming holiday weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Sunday night there is a free concert, and fireworks at Squaw, so come early then stay for the fun.

Watercolor on Canvas - Oakland this weekend

My recent work is transparent watercolors on canvas. The canvas has been created specifically for watercolors, and the end result of this is my ability to paint much larger watercolor paintings than the traditional watercolor. Watercolors on paper must be framed to protect the surface, and these on canvas are waterproof. A flood could impact the image, but a wine spill or water squirt will not.
I have worked in oil, acrylics and watercolors in the past, and I combine the techniques from all of these mediums on the new canvases. Along with a soft palatte, the large watercolor washes not possible with oils and acrylics, so loved by watercolor enthusiasts, is one of the real joys.
I am showing my new work in Montclair Village, Oakland, this weekend, June 24, 25 & 26. I am located in front of the Starbucks on Mountain Blvd. There is a link to a map of this location to the right.

Saratoga Rotary Art Show This Sunday

Sunday May 1 is the Annual Saratoga Rotary Fine Art Show. I will be in my usual location. If you enter the West Valley College campus from the Fruitvale entrance ( I believe this is the main entrance) my booth is to the far left of the show. As a matter of fact, I am the farthest booth to the left, and you can probably see my paintings from the road. There is a link to a map of the college to the right of this post.

Belmont This Weekend

That last post was from my wife, who erroneously posted her update to my blog. Of course since she DOES my blog too, I can see why there is some confusion.
I too will be in Belmont this weekend at the Carlemont Shopping Center with new paintings. Rain or shine.
Please read the post below for the details. Hope to see you!

Belmont This Weekend

I'm vertical and mobile after being in bed for a week and a half with the cold from hell. I've got some work done, some more to do, and I'll see you in Belmont I hope. The show is at the Carlemont Shopping Center at the intersection of Ralston and Alameda de las Pulgas. The Carlemont Pharmacy is at the front of the Center, and I am in front of the pharmacy.
We will be there rain or shine, since there are eaves overhead. This is a nice feature in March.
I may post some pictures of new work later, but if you havn't received my newsletter, sign up at the top of this blog, and I will send it to you with the Newsletter Special and all the pictures.

Oil Painting Clearance at San Carlos Art & Wine Show,This Weekend, Oct. 9 & 10

I am clearing out my studio of my oil paintins, giclee reproductions and several watercolors on paper. I will have these at the San Carlos show this coming weekend, Oct. 9 & 10. I won't have any of my new work, the watercolors on canvas, at this show, but I will take them to Menlo Park the next weekend.
I have reduced the prices on these works significantly. It is too difficult to display the different mediums at a show, so I would rather find some good homes for this work, then continue to paint with the watercolors exclusively.
I have several giclee reproductions that will also be reduced. Large, 30 x 40 giclee's of several oil paintings I did will be available in several sizes, some framed, some not. I don't have good photos of these to post here, but most of you have seen these in the past at the shows.
My booth is on Laurel @ Cherry, on the north side of the street, on the corner.
