Banner for my retiring boss

For Dean, I painted a banner that served as a photo backdrop and farewell keepsake to allow his colleagues to leave a parting note.

Art Jam Challenge, December 2015

The next AJ Challenge is also a fundraiser for the Frank Bette Center for the Arts. The fundraiser is called the "Secret Art Sale" and the members of AJ are participating as part of our challenge. I'm not sure how we will judge our own works, but we hope to raise some money for the Center.

Here is my contribution.

"Sunset over Port of Oakland" on exhibit

Yesterday, there was a reception for new art at the EBMUD Gallery in Oakland. I was fortunate to have a good exhibit location for my triptych.
