It’s been almost a month now since I have done an “Art of the Day” feature, so what better way to start back up than to show some work by Berkeley artist E. Gauger. This painting is entitled “The Clergy: Monk” and is 5″ x 7″; pencil, brick red and black ink on clay-board. I love how she used an Exacto knife to scratch out the highlights.
This painting is a part of a tryptich the artist is creating for a friend, how lucky is that? It’s an amazing painting and I’m sure in person is even more dynamic. I like how subtle the background is, but still very detailed. Almost like an old cabinet photo, and it really helps to draw your eye to that face. This tryptich is not done yet so you can be sure I will be posted the full, finished piece soon. I just had to post this one as a teaser. It was too good to pass up.

Lisa Falzon has again updated her Etsy shop with a new original oil painting. This new painting is oil on canvas 10″ x 14″. The colors in this one are great, and I really like the way that she handled the background. The details in the back are kind of like the soft focus that you would get with a camera, and really helps to not distract from the figure.
Head on over and check it out. Lisa Falzon on Etsy

Saw this is the e-mail today, as well as on a handful of other sites. Porterhouse Fine Art Editions will be releasing a limited edition lithographic poster of Mark Ryden’s “Fur Girl” painting this coming January 20. This new painting is for his upcoming solo show at Tokyo gallery Tomio Koyama.
The poster, argh I hate that word, will be on heavyweight paper 33″ x 23 1/8″, signed and numbered in an edition of 500. It is embossed with the Porterhouse seal and comes with a certificate of authenticity. These are sure to go fast so if you’ve been eyeballing one of these get ready.
Coming this January 17th at the Choque Cultural Gallery in Sao Paulo, Brazil, is a group show featuring new works by Doze Green, Jim Houser and Tara McPherson.
The images for Doze Green and Tara Mcpherson are up on the site, nothing from Jim Houser yet. I really like the new from Tara, thee are no prices on the site as of yet. I do hope some prints are made from a few of these, like “From the Abyss” (1st below) would make a killer print for those of us unable to score the original.

This past weekend I headed over to San Francisco to check out the latest solo show of Van Arno at Shooting Gallery, as well as the “Family First” group show right next door at White Walls. I rented car this time as to avoid the two hour bus ride for once, and be able to move around the city easier. It wasn’t as cold as I thought it would be there, it must just be where I live that gets unbearably cold.
The Van Arno show was excellent, securing me as a fan from here on out. The Family First show which featured works by Shepard Fairey, Ian Francis, Mike Giant, Sylvia Ji, Adam Flores and more, was also a blast. It was great to finally see paintings by Ian Francis and Shawn Barber in person, both of which are even more amazing in person. I took so many pictures of the works just to be able to look back at all the small details in painting held.
