I’m in the ARC Student show. There are some great pieces in the show… cause ARC rocks! Also the Wayne Thiebaud exhibit is pretty amazing! It is in the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento. The show is on the bottom (under ground) floor of the old building.

This painting is a tribute to American music legends like Johnny Cash. The hands were taken from a picture of Mr. Cash. I attempted to capture the excitement of a live show through dramatic color. I used my beautiful Martin guitar and a fake scull (of course ha ha) so it is partly a still life. Now go listen to Johnny! That is an order! 🙂
I took a little vacation to Chicago. Had a great time. I checked out the website before I left but I had no idea the Art Institute had so many amazing painting. Almost all of my favorites were there. I could have spent the whole week going back. But I’m glad I got out. It really is a beautiful city with amazing architecture. I’ll post my other pictures next.

Another painting from a bunch of pictures I took of Lake Tahoe. There was a storm coming in. It was amazing… but a little scary in an awesome way. 🙂
I worked to capture the light and it’s reflection and give the texture of the water.
Something very magical and beautiful about Lake Tahoe. I wish I could take a little vacation there and paint from straight observation….. maybe someday. 🙂
Made a little Saturday trip to the Haggin Museum. It was well worth the drive. The building and park that is located in is beautiful. They didn’t have anything that was super modern but they do have an amazing Renoir and Gauguin. Also some native American pottery and clothes. I’ll be going back for sure. You can learn a lot from the old masters. Oh, and some work by J.C. Leyendecker who is some what similar to Norman Rockwell. Obviously he is a little more artistic. It probably crosses the line into illustration a little… but … why not… I thought his technique was interesting. 🙂

This is from a picture I took on a hike in Auburn, CA. It was over cast. I got rained on a little… but it was totally worth it :).
So I think I captured that and added a little styling to make it a secondary triad…. or close.
I’ve always loved bridges and roads… guess I love to travel and meet new people and see new sites.
