Last San Francisco Paintings

Tomorrow my wife and I close our San Francisco studio in preparation for our move to New York, where we plan to live in Manhattan for a year. Here are the last three paintings done in California, created between November 2010 and January 2012.

New York, New York

Just to make sure 2012 means something new, Vivienne (my wife) and I purchased one-way tickets to New York.  We'll be living there for eleven months, from 01 February until 31 December.  Who knows what changes that will bring about?
Happy new year everyone.

Moon Atlas Paintings

In truth, I did not expect to sell my hand-painted book, Moon Atlas, in the Zeitgeist show; but it sold and because there were certain things I very much wanted to retain for myself, I created some paintings as an extension of the book.
