Quartet is a work with four different seashells, all of which are in the shape of a hemisphere. Depending on the angle from which they’re viewed, each has a subtly different appearance. A unique feature about this artwork is that it can be viewed from three angles: front and right- and left-facing views. Each seashell has a different structure, color, and feel to it. A tiny mirror was used for the seashell on the right side of the artwork in order to give it an overwhelming shine. This is part of what gives the piece its allure.

And of course, the main feature of the Sacramento river is the water. As you would expect, since it flows downstreams of numerous mountains, there are many good fishing points. This time I’ve only made a portrait photo…

The painting 76 Rodeo, CA. #2 was done after the work done in April 2010 when I visited an area about 30 miles east of Los Angeles that is known for its oil wells and industry along the freeway. The landscape is filled with hard edges and surrounded by a lot of pollution. When I was working on the oil…
