Eclipse begins a new Heavenly Series

I have just started with a new "sculptural painting" I call Eclipse. Only a few people have seen it, but I have received really a wonderful response. There are LED lights embedded into the piece giving a glow of an eclipse as real as it could be.

In August, 2008, Andre and I witnessed a solar eclipse in the high desert country of China. It lasted only a couple of minutes. However, the light in the sky became very eerie, and it was so amazing. One could see how ancient people were often terrified of eclipses and saw them as bad omens.

Please see this one as a heavenly creation of God in the sky. I hope to follow up with more heavenly pieces showing sunrises and lightning and galaxies and so much more.

The Eclipse will be shown at Sequoia Hospital in Redwood City for the month of August and September through the Arts of the Covenant exhibition called, "The Light of the World."

Ghirardelli

Just finished a painting of Ghirardelli Square, the former chocolate factory. I think the tourism there has diminished somewhat from the days in the 1980s, but it is close to Fishermen's Wharf and still draws people. The painting is acrylic and collage so we call it a "mixed media." You can see it as a playful painting with the balloons and bright colors of yellow and orange.

The weekend of October 23-24, 2009, I will be with 8 artists showing at Open Studios at :

Art People Gallery
50 Post Street, 2nd level #41
San Francisco, CA 94104

I hope to see some of you there as it is a really good way to see such a variety of art in one venue and reasonable prices too.
