Here's a series of Instagram shots of a painting I did a few weeks ago. I worked from a photo I took about a year ago of an unknown sand artist at Ocean Beach. I kind of liked the black and white ink version, with just the red jacket, but I decided to go all in with color. Maybe eventually I'll make prints of both--or holiday cards!
Bolinas

I'm on the 'net!
It's been a long time coming, but I finally made a website. Since I made this site to include art that is available as original or archival prints, I already have a few new works that aren't on here. I just finished a watercolor of Bolinas, my favorite local beach, and I also did one of the Bay Bridge and bow & arrow sculpture. Stay tuned for these and more!
