The Good Vibes Only - Group Art Show @ Sketchpad Gallery, SF

"There is this hyper cozy coffee shop that I love to go to- that feels like a small vacation each time I go. This house is inspired by the actual house which is right across it, so I get a good view of this scene as I work. I just feel like it's an apt place to call home for a lot of us who come here to do our own thing. Most days, this one artist likes to sit on his favorite spot to paint the patrons. Sometimes, he'd play the piano. The baristas are sweet and inviting. Kids, teachers, tutors, elderly folk like to come here to study, chat, work, or play board games. :p I wish there was more of this kind of small business around. Our communities need more good vibe places like this." - Jamie B

See you there!!! ���

Master Study - Zorn

I'm hoping to improve my painting by studying masters like Zorn and Payne. Today, I focused on listening to Marco Bucci on Youtube, and learning how to block in major shapes, simplifying value structures and creating a more successful focal point. Painting is like forming a puzzle of abstract shapes into something tangible.

This took about less than an hour. I was aiming to get something considerably done in 30 minutes, but using the lasso tool in Photoshop makes it extremely laggy. XD

Looking back, I should have lessened the contrast on her lips. It was quick, so I couldn't give her too much facial detail.

Little Yosemite

My husband and I went on a short 4 mile hike to this place called Little Yosemite. It is a fantastic little area in the Sunol Regional Wilderness with waterfalls, creeks, huge boulders, trees, lush greens, and just gorgeous Mother Nature! I can't wait to come back for more painting adventure! XD
