What a ...time this is. I've been quiet because I've been busy - with two kids home, exciting professional work, and the need to rearrange everything, all underscored by a feeling of horror and impotence as the underpinnings of society fall spectacul
Wearing a shirt this color today, which reminded me that I never posted this little drawing. I enjoy light pencil work - feels like drawing whispers!⁣ ⁣ #agnespelton #hilmaafklint #emmakunz #geometricartwork #geometriasagrada #reductive #objectiveart

Here I am in the 80s just ROCKING my clarinet.⁣ ⁣ #powerstance #clarinetrocks #80sfashion #throwbacksaturday
Between the symplegades...⁣these look like ice walls though, I think. ⁣ "Minimum Perimeter Triangle", 30"x40", acrylic, ink, and pastels on canvas ⁣ #symplegades #icewall #icewalls #redandorange #geometricabstraction #mathisbeauti
~ Free ~ ⁣ ⁣ My synesthesia is usually only number -> color(+texture), but I feel like I hear this whole series...mostly there are deep, vibrating hums, but in this case it's a lyrical violin solo. It sounds like I've walked up behind a violinist
A full circle emerges!⁣ ⁣ "Excircle", 36"x48", acrylic and ink on canvas, 2019⁣ ⁣ #orangeandblue #blueandorange #fineart #geometricabstraction #modernartists #bayareaartist #conceptualart #kunst #artcollector #mathematics #compass
Sometimes I do a sketch in Photoshop to work out colors and compositions, than print that out and tape it to the back of the canvas, then punch pins through key points to transfer them to the front. This way I can paint layer after layer, but always
Get this...by far the best way I know of to calculate a square root without a calculator is...with a compass and ruler (!). That's the geometry behind this piece - and in fact, it even verifies that √4 = 2.⁣ ⁣ This series has been a salve for m
Just the simplest, coolest algorithm. And a glimpse beyond the walls! The happiest thing about this piece, though, is that I used a silver pen for the diagonal line across the circle, and depending on the angle of view, some part of the line vanish
Yesterday I helped with an art class at my kids' school. Naturally I love that, but the program wants the kids to successfully create the desired outcome of each lesson, while I see the lesson as more a jumping off point. As long as they're connect
This is one of the first simple designs I thought of after conceiving of this series. I've painted it in a wide variety of colors - some very clown-show-y - before realizing that in many ways it's the birth of the series and should be a moon-like obj
On an evening flight from Vegas to SF, I watched these shadows be born, grow, and eventually merge into the vast evening desert. Of course, from a plane, I couldn't see in the other direction, so I missed the majesty of the sunset itself. I think thi
Only the tiniest pie slice of the orb is visible here. That particular element reminds me of Januaries when I lived in London - the sun never got higher than the tops of the buildings, and was generally below the horizon when I arrived at/left the of
I like the way this iceberg came out, and the way the ink lines are dragging through the water...⁣ ⁣ "Perpendicular Drop (Iceberg)", 24"x30", acrylic and ink on canvas⁣ ⁣ #geometricart #bayareaartist #objectiveart #geometria #emer

I spent the weekend working on a new website (not quite live yet), taking photos of paintings, editing, writing...I know it's necessary, and I don't mind it, because I'm ready to take the next steps with my work, and those tasks are part of making th
Here's a list of good vs bad people from my 7-year-old. Note that he referred to these as "characters", perfectly utilizing both definitions of the word, I think.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Good pepl: Flame, Cuckoo, Chalk, Ouka, Kino.⁣⁣ Bad pepl: Shooke, Snaoo,
Last summer we spent some time on Kefalonia - the island home of one of the most stunning places I've ever visited, Myrtos Beach. #Myrtos is surrounded by marble cliffs, and their sediment transforms the water into an absolutely dazzling array of bl
