This new “Child Bride…” hand-painted monoprint is in the large “Women Rising 2024” show through Sunday at the fab new space for TheDrawingRoomAnnex on Valencia St, San Francisco. Titleed “Child brides are particularly vulnerable to abuse." —The United Nations Population Fund”—to find out more about this and receive my occasional email art updates.
more info on the pieces attached: Happy Accidents…? Initially I intended "Child Brides…" to be a uniquely imperfect monoprint from the image of my painting of the same name, However, when the imperfection made the image unrecognizable, over the next few days I used a small watercolor brush to repaint it with pigment from scraps leftover from past monoprints. Now I know a new technique for making my monoprints more unique!
Super-quick scribbles of Circus Bella’s fabulous performers in constant joyful motion. Still performing today, and through next Sunday. If you’re in San Francisco, don’t miss them—Super fun! @circusbella #circusbella #circusbellasf #sanfrancisco
An escape to Inverness and Pt Reyes for watercolor-pencil drawings, photos, and lots of beautiful walks an amazing nature. . . . . #sfart #drawing #workspaceartists #watercolorpencil
Beauty in aging is inspirational. Sitting across from her at an outdoor party I had a little longer for this drawing. It felt as if I was using my red crayon to uncover the drawing already in the paper. . . #beautyinaging . . . . #stolenportait #sfart #drawing . . . . .
Rediscovered my magic sanguine “crayon” to draw SFGiants fan on the way to a game drawn on a recent bus ride. . . . . #stolenportait #sfgiantsfan #sfart #drawing . . . . .
2 sketches of young woman in headscarf at outdoor cafe in SantaCruz. BTW— the chickpea/cauliflower dish @laili_sc may be best vegetarian dish ever. #stolenportait #headscarf #sfart #drawing #workspaceartists...
Beautiful young woman in hoodie and mask with star between her brows, long flowing braids, and beads in her hair and around her neck. #stolenportait #sfart #drawing #workspaceartists...
Man in the library doing research. When I’ve not gotten a sketch in yet I’ll often now go to the local library —open seven days a week for all! #stolenportait #sfart #watercolorpencil #sfpl @sfpubliclibrary #drawing...
“Spaghetti and kuri squashes” watercolor pencil drawing emerged out of a week with the flu. Hoping 2023 will be healthy and better in all ways! #spaghettisquash #kurisquash #watercolorpencil #sfart #drawing...
<1 minute to sketch “Young man with cascading locs, backpack, skateboard, and phone” between stops on the BART subway—with calligraphic pen. #sfart #drawing...
Delicata squashes were so colorful I had to sketch them with colored pencils. I’m trying to get a stop action to post… will do when I figure out the issue…
Hot mess or “happy accident”? Scribbling out unfinished drawings of people who left the subway car, were made into the next people… sketched while riding the BART to the studio from dentist downtown.
“Woman with hat in front of a redwood tree” and a few of the other quick ink sketches at the Flower Piano music happening in the San Francisco Botanical Garden.
Some of today’s stolen portrait ink sketches on transit and in outdoor cafés—one of those rare, soft, mild days in San Francisco summer with no cold wind or fog.
SOLD and in transit to a collector who purchased it at the Breast Cancer Action “Drawing the Connections” Auction. The work is a uniquely imperfect transfer/monoprint of “The Supreme Court Stopped Big Pharma from Patenting My DNA, page 9” —BCA is an activist non-profit advocating for environmental and social-justice centered on surrounding breast cancer. @bcaction . . . #traditionalanddigital #collage #digitalart #dna #geneticsurveillance #bigpharma #medicalprivacy #sfartist #sfart #sanfrancisco #drawing @artspansf #fabricart #fabricartist #digitaloriginal #workspaceartists #sanfranciscoartist #sanfranciscoart #sanfranciscoartists #traditionalanddigital #collage #digitalart #workspaceartists #sfartist #sfart #sanfrancisco #drawing #sfwomenartists #womenartists #breastcancer #breastcanceraction #breastcanceractivism #drawingtheconnections #art #artist #activism #socialjustice #bcaction...
