The perfect gift for a CAL grad ...

Sold.

Congrats to Patti Vincent as she is the winner of the Day Five Birthday Giveaway. It's a one-hour consultation on selling your art through Facebook.

It's hard to believe there are only two more days left of my Birthday Challenge. It's been really fun and I really appreciate that so many of you have participated! I spent most of my day doing busy work. I actually lost my sling, and I am not kidding, so I couldn't wear it today either.  I just finished a video of the CIF baseball championship win for the banquet tomorrow night. It was a lot of fun and it gave me an idea for today's birthday challenge prize ...

The Day Six Birthday Free Giveaway is a video of your artwork. That's right. I will create a short (up to about 8 minutes) video featuring your art. All you will need to do is provide me with photos of your artwork and I will create the video for you. The process to create these videos is not difficult and it will be one of the first on-line classes I will be teaching in the fall.

To enter, all you have to do is spread the word about my favorite radio show, Artists Helping Artists. You can do that by placing a "badge" on your blog or website. It's really easy to do: Go to the AHA Blog  and find the badge that looks like the picture on the left. Then click SHARE and add it to your blog. You can also share our showon your Facebook. Don't forget to go to the Artists Helping Artists page on BlogTalkRadio and sign up as a follower of the show.
 Please comment on this post so I know you have let everyone know about the show. That way I will enter you in tomorrow's drawing. Thanks!

Sunset at Cal Berkeley - SOLD

"Sunset at Cal Berkeley"

Oil, 6" x 8" on museum quality canvas panel.

Sold.

I have had a lot of interest in my paintings of colleges and universities. Quite some time ago I promised some of my Cal Berkeley friends that I would paint at least one Cal painting, especially since Stanford is so predominantly featured on my website. So for all you Bears fans ... here it is!
And for all my USC Trojan friends ... you are up next ...

Canadian Warmth

"Canadian Warmth"

Oil, 6" x 6" on canvas panel.

$200.00 unframed.

If I had to pick one thing that reminds me most about this Olympics, it would have to be the wonderful Canadian mittens! Everyone is wearing them in Vancouver and Whistler and I fell in love with them. Early last week I actually found a pair on ebay for close to retail price! They arrived last Thursday and I absolutely love them.

We spent a long weekend up at Stanford and wow! The Cal vs. Stanford swim meet was so exciting. I honestly did not think Stanford could win and it came down to the last event. Stanford pulled it off and the roar in the stands was wonderful. What a great honor to watch our son swim for Stanford!

So we are back home ... watching the Olympics again ... and gearing up for the Pac 10 Swimming Championships in just over a week. Can you tell I love sports? I am a hopeless fan!

The View From Berkeley

"The View From Berkeley"

Oil, 6" x 6" on canvas panel.

$200 unframed.

I am still working on the Mayfield Senior School painting, It is taking me forever ... so I took a break and tried another silhouette. This ended up being a very simple and straightforward painting.

I am off to Bakersfield tomorrow to watch my son swim. Then he will be at USC on Saturday for a big meet. I just found out we are feeding the team here after the meet. I am thrilled!

I have lots of good news on exhibitions for the next few months. More on that later!

End Of A Long Day

"End Of A Long Day"

Oil, 6" x 6" on canvas panel.

$200.00 unframed.

It has been a long day. I spent last night at the the "sleep center" which is a place you go and sleep ... to determine if you are sleeping correctly. Trust me, trying to sleep with about 50 wires attached to you and a camera on you (!) does not lead to a good night's sleep.

I also agreed to another filming project at my house. They are filming a commercial for Roundy's which is a grocery store in the midwest (that I have never heard of). Has anyone heard of it? The "tech scout" was here today and that took about two hours ... so needless to say I didn't get to my easel until late this afternoon. I started a still life that DID NOT WORK so I went back to my comfort zone ... boats. I tried a silhouette for the first time and I like it. Which is a good thing because there is no way I had any energy left to start another one!

The rest of my paintings this week with be "schools" ... you will see paintings of Berkeley, USC, UCLA and actually Mayfield Senior School which is an all-girls school here in Pasadena. Of course with three boys I do not have any kids that go there ... although I am sure they wish they could!
