Notebook page. Watercolor and fountain pen on top. I have been experimenting For a while to get that kind of vivid black line-like a dip pen. But every time I tried a dip pen and bottle Ink, I spilled ink all over me and the work. I want really strong colors in my sketchbook. Usually... . . . .

My “Art and Alchemy” talk at the reception , standing in front of the painting called Salt.

“My private Paleolith”, 36“ x 36“, acrylic on canvas. I sought to make a painting that was a modern interpretation of a cave wall, with forms emerging but not yet developed, and with 21st-century pigments. I saw a lot of petroglyphs on a recent road trip through Washington state. I identify with the feeling that there is something about a particular rock or a particular location or service that invites Mark making. You never know what might emerge through those cracks and fishers and surface stains. You can see this In studio number six during Sonoma county art trails . . . #saltworkstudio #sofasantarosa #santarosa #abstracts #contemporary _art #abstrakt #abstractmag #kunstgalerie #artmoderne #contemporarygallery #paleomythic #contemporarypaintings #artstudiolife #openstudios #openstudios #openstudios2018 #artstudios #contemporarypainter #abstractors #abstractexpressionist #abstraktekunst #artabstrait #arteastratta #arteabstracto #acrylicabstract #arttrails2018 #sonomacountyarttrails #sonomacounty

More erosion in the great cave. I am washing off these amazing chalk cave drawings by Caren Catterall on my studio wall. I will miss them. They are from the PaleoMythic show earlier this year. . . . . #saltworkstudio #sofasantarosa #santarosa #caveart #contemporary _art #abstrakt #abstractmag #kunstgalerie #lascaux #paleomythic #contemporarypaintings #artstudiolife #cavepainting #artstudios #contemporarypainter #artstudio #abstractexpressionist #abstraktekunst #artabstrait #arteastratta #arteabstracto #acrylicabstract

This priceless cave painting is slowly wearing away! Just kidding. My talented artist friend Caren Catterall Drew this chalk horse on my studio wall for the PaleoMythic show. I’m washing it away to repaint the wall blue. #saltworkstudio #sofasantarosa #santarosa #abstracts #lascaux #abstrakt #abstractmag #kunstgalerie #artmoderne #contemporarygalleryh #paleomythic #contemporarypaintings #artstudiolife #artbuyers #artstudios #contemporarypainter #abstractors #abstractexpressionist #abstraktekunst #artabstrait #arteastratta #arteabstracto #paleomythic
