Evening light in the studio. Started the year reflecting & reviewing paintings done over the past few years. Deciding what works, which ideas still interest me, what experiments I’ll incorporate into paintings & what pieces get tossed.

Fantastic Joan Brown retrospective @sfmoma. ❤️ Some surprises, there were a few paintings I hadn’t seen before! I absolutely love the Jamaica beach painting & conch shell (last pic, detail). I can’t help but wonder what her work would be like today if she were still with us. Lost too soon—wonderful painter, teacher, person. Thank you @janet_bishop & @s_nancylim for organizing this exhibit. Happy to see the show was packed with visitors. I’ll definitely go back on a quieter day to spend more time & really soak up her work!

#throwbackthursday! Thanks for the visit @dorothyrobinsonart!! So good to see you, talk shop & catch up. Repost + an extra photo of the 3 of us ❤️🐶 1st painting from 1991(?), “Locket”, oil on canvas, 96 x 84 inches. 2nd painting 2022, acrylic on translucent, synthetic paper, 12 x 9 inches
Posted @withrepost • @dorothyrobinsonart A few treasures from my recent studio visit with @lorene.anderson in Oakland. Early, recent, and work-in-progress, the latter with Lorene and possibly the sweetest little dog on earth!

Finally painted a new layer on this big boy today, took weeks for the under-layers to dry. Just a few more layers to go... Lots of #wetpaint & #worksinprogress going in the studio. #photobomb: someone says it’s time to go home 😂🐶

Finishing up another layered, large painting. I’ve been working on enlarging my small double-sided, drippy/linear small works on paper to much large canvases and panels. Not as easy as it sounds!… Acrylic & polymer on canvas, 66 x 46 inches

Back in the studio (with my assistant 🐶)! Getting ready to dive back into new paintings & touch up a few big canvases that are just about finished.
Before my trip, I poured thick, clear polymer layers on new #worksinprogress so those layers would have ample time to dry while I was away. I placed large sheets of cardboard above the #wips to slow down drying in order to prevent crazing & cracking (swipe to see that studio shot). This is one of many, many things I learned about acrylics while a resident at the @golden_art_fdn a few years ago. They’re taking applications now & I highly, highly recommend applying!!!

Joan Brown & me at my MFA show @bampfa in May, 1990. I’m forever grateful I had the opportunity to study with her so closely & be her TA when I was a grad student @ucberkeley_artpractice .

Released this fella from inside the garden netting while picking blueberries in my folk’s garden. 🫐🫐🫐 Not sure how he got in there…. May have emerged from a chrysalis in that enclosure. I believe it`s an Eastern Tiger Swallowtail—Correction!! Just found out it’s a Zebra Swallowtail

In 2018, I was commissioned by @imagerywinery to create a painting for a wine label & for their art collection. My label was placed on a wonderful 2018 White Burgundy Reserve. Exhibiting apricot, stone fruit & tropical notes — according to my wine connoisseur husband @michaelhockingworld — it’s perfect for this hot weather. It was released in 2020.
Commissioned artists aren’t limited by medium or style, the only exception is that the work must contain a likeness of the Parthenon replica that is on the @benzigerwinery estate. I painted several options with the Parthenon image buried within my swirling compositions, but ultimately I decided to put its likeness front & center.
We popped open a bottle while watching the @warriors play last night. 🏀

This was finished last week, but was still a bit tacky to the touch so I pulled it out of the drying rack & put in a sunny spot to finish drying. Swipe to the last pic for a steamy (literally) video of paint drying. 😆
