MARCH 2018: VELOCITY 101 N SERIES BEGINS

On January 19, 2018, while I was riding the bus north between Santa Rosa and Ukiah, once again the late afternoon sun began to create odd reflections and mirrors through which I could view the rapidly passing landscape. Transfixed, I took a series of the photos.

This first piece is titled Velocity 101 N Jan. 19 2018 #1. Acrylic on canvas, 16" x 20". Work continues on this new series and I'm also doing larger versions of the original Velocity series.

February 2018: Above the Smoke

The Redwood Valley painting is done and has a title. I have decided that making giclee or other archival types of prints and framing them to raise funds for the ongoing needs of those displaced by the fire will be too costly - in terms of my outlay and in terms of their affordability.

I am going to see about doing inexpensive photo prints popped into inexpensive frames, which raises the possibility not only of selling more of them to raise funds, but also that I will be able to donate the costs of the prints and framing and donate the gross rather than the net. We shall see how test runs look....
