I just purchased this Ashley Longshore book.  I absolutely love art books.  But is is so hard to know what you are getting when purchasing online.  So I will review some of the art books and supplies in this blog.  

The book is great.  It is a decent size.  The cover is hard.  The images of the work are large and colorful.  And it has some of Ms. Longshore witty dialogue sprinkled throughout the book.  If you would like a video of the book, comment below.

Almost Fall

Summer is coming to an end.  I am in the Lily Tomlin Art Show at FE Gallery as mentioned in my previous post.  I also have 3 coasters in the La Luz De Jesus Coaster Show-

I have a beautiful Frida painting in the Frida Khalo Art Show at Picture This Gallery-

Currently I am busy working on paintings for a Group Show at FE Gallery for February.

There are lots of interesting art events happening in California over the summer months.  I hope the Fall will be as inspiring.

Lily Tomlin

The summer is upon me.  Summer's tend to be a big productive time for my art.  

In August I will be in a Lily Tomlin Show at FE Gallery in Sacramento.  I have attached three pictures of my paintings which will be in the show.

I have been busy updating my SkyesArtShop Etsy shop.  New paintings and new photos of older paintings are live.  I will be adding new paintings over the next two weeks.  You can also access it at www.skyesart.com

Bunches and bunches of work

This week I focused on completing a small wood painting and started a large flower head beauty.  I also plan on starting up two medium paintings of flower head beauties with different antlers.  You can see completed paintings at www.skyesart.com

New SFMoma

Yesterday, I was able to see the new SFMoma.  It is huge.  I am happy the museum is back.  I loved all of the Chuck Close paintings.  There were new modern art I had not seen there before and all the favorites from the permanent collection were left just as they were before closing.  The museum store had a wonderful selection of new art books and the prices were the same as Amazon.  I have included some picks of the amazing art.  You can see my art at www.skyesart.com
