A Place to Lose Your Heart?

"Cafe de la Presse"

12" x 12", oil on canvas - Sold

There's much to love about that city on the Bay; for instance, its fine eateries and casual bistros. Its cool summers. July in San Francisco is downright cold. About as cold as January in Houston.

Lovin' That Luby's

9"x24" diptych, oil on canvas

This painting proves two things: 

(a) inspiration is where you find it, and

(b) cell phone cameras are great for capturing the moment.

Although, it took some effort to adjust the perspective from my photos and make these folks line up correctly in the paintings, it was a fun project. If you're not from Texas, you may not know that Luby's is a popular cafeteria. The two pieces are available as giclees from Gallery Direct.

12" x 16" oil on canvas, nfs

What a rip-off! She starts a blog then leaves town. 

Well, maybe she had a good reason.

Like what? It better be good.

Maybe she went to Princeton to see her granddaughter perform Shakespeare.

Oh.

And maybe she revisited some of her favorite sidewalk cafes, like the one above.

Oh.

And now that she has that out of her system, maybe she'll settle down and PAINT.

   (Her granddaughter is definitely going places, by the way.)
