Walter Logeman Art Project 2006-7
I began to make a post about my visit to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, but lost it half way through for some reason. But just one artist will do for now. Philip Guston.
Amy introduced me to him. I am intrigued by the man, his place in the abstract expressionist world. When I walked up the stairs at the museum today there was a Guston, much more impressive than the web stuff!
The one I really liked, and the first painting that really drew me today was one called The Tormentors:

I saw the blue monochrome today…
#0575 Pete’s Café

In Pete’s Café near the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art – the rest of the day the art gallery was the focus. I am now in the Café Museo posting up some sketches I did after being inspired in the museum.
These line sketches are fun, but I like my kinaesthetic big bold abstracts. I sketch them here on this little screen but imagine myself in some rural studio with unlimited real materials. But I am ahead of myself…

#0567 Birds

At Muir Beach we witnessed a feeding frenzy, a rare event apparently. One of the birds was the Sooty Shearwater not sure if that is one in my image.
A photo follows of the whole frenzy – and the bit I used for the sketch – top left.
#0566 Balancing Rock
Larger Image.
11″ x 8.5″ image on 13″ x 19″ archival matte paper.
This is an art work by my friend John H – which I took a photo of and now sketched. The digital version will survive this ephemeral creation. Rocks are balanced by feel – feel and more feel, an act of love & concentration, a meditation. Balance more rocks!
This particular one with its heart shape reminds me of works by Jim Dine. See the image below
