Sketches: Cizahaka, Inman, DYM - 8/2026

We were attempting to get into the DeYoung Museum for the Pharoah exhibit, but it was way too crowded and sold out. So, it was a nice day to peruse the permanent collection at the DYM. One painting that always captured my imagination was a portrait of Cizahaka by Henry Inman. The portrait depicts the handsome Cizahaka and the beauty of his dress, but I always wondered about the coloration of his skin - which to me looks a little too "red".

Nevertheless, the painting is beautiful and worth the visit to a crowded DeYoung Museum.

Back-to-School Sale at Fog City Java, 8/2026

Walking into Fog City Java, I was hoping to see the new artist for the month of August 2026; but, the walls were bare. Amber and Bonnie explained that nobody signed up for August or September. We could not let that stand. Natalie and I put our artwork together and installed a "Back-to-School Art Show and Sale"

Stop in, grab a coffee and donut, take in the art, and enjoy the beach afterward.
