Aqualung of the streets


I saw this old man walking across from where I put gas in my car. It was a bit of a hot day, middle of the day, and this man was carrying, seemingly, a lot of his belongings with him He seemed overbeared, but determined to reach his place of destination. I called him "Aqualung", with obvious Jethro Tull reference.

One of my favorite places to work.


This is a pic of one of the many individual desks that they have at the Los Angeles Central Library. Definitely one of my favorite places to work at.

Are you interested in learning how to oil paint ALLA PRIMA??

I teach a class in oil painting at Art Center College of Design throughout the year which you might be interested in.

Here is the blurb: Beginning with still life and progressing toward working from a model, this course will give students the opportunity to investigate the structure and design of a painting. Students will develop a range of tools through the exploration of different color palettes and the manipulation of various media with oil paint on a variety of grounds. Creativity and experimentation are encouraged to help students acquire a personal vocabulary. Here are some examples of my students' work:
