On the Aiki

...for Guy Steven's 40th birthday party. The Aiki is Guy's boat - I was amused to note that the colors of paint chips used included regatta, speedboat, catamaran and victory. I wasn't looking at the names when I chose colors - I see in retrospect that I actually rejected kayak. And can you guess which of those colors are purples and which are yellows?

Field Trip to the Driving Range

Today, The Alexander Education Center took a field trip to Tilden Park Golf Course's driving range. Many thanks to Susan & Martin for organizing it, John for the pre-trip prep, Giora & Bob for teaching technique while driving golf balls and to Susan & Nic for the photos.

In the Palm Jungle at Ritual Gardens

Sometimes, when you draw with a knife, you end up with two drawings instead of one. Technically these are at Ritual Cafe at Flora Grubb Gardens, where we have enjoyed excellent coffee and purchased a few exquisite plants.

Yowza!

Shadows and Reflections: Birthday Toast

Shadows and reflections of my hand raising my wine glass to toast Joan & my birthdays.

Was it a Bus Stop?

Heroically Posed with the Bicycle Delivery Cart

You may wonder, why did she do that checker-board thing? Well, really, for the same old reason - I wanted to see what it would look like.

Shadow on Studio Floor

I don't know what was going on there in the shadow, but no, I'm not pregnant!

Flashback to 2001

My interest in shadows is by no means recent. In fact, most of the botanical paintings are based on shadows. (The source photo was taken in 2001, the drawing was done today.)

Ghost Shadow

Yes, yes, my hand, drawing this very picture...

Rush Hour Had Started (2)

The first one was closer to what the camera saw, this one is closer to what I saw. However, I cannot explain my definite resem- blence here to Michael Jackson.

Oh, Fig!

The Dogs Cast No Shadows...

..but mine was huge, at the no-name "rest station" that used to be a gas station, in lovely Noe Valley.
