"Outer Sunset"

When I was in San Francisco this past spring, to teach a workshop, our home base was a rental in the Outer Sunset district - about 15 blocks from the Pacific Ocean.  I loved staying in that neighborhood.  This view was a drive down Judah Street, heading straight to the sea at dusk.  It is that squinty light that caused my photo to turn out somewhat monochromatic - which I loved, so I gave it a shot with paint, which I love.

I also wanted to remind folks that the opening reception for my show Here Comes The Sun is next Friday night, from 5-8 at the 16 Patton Gallery in Asheville.  I'll be there and would greatly appreciate you stopping by to say hello and look at my new work.  A fellow artist, Mark Henry, will have his new paintings showing the same night.

I love the monochromatic tones in this one, Karin. Your greys are amazing. Best wishes on your upcoming show. I wish I could be there!

Very hard to work with just grays...you did a great job of it! Inspiring! And on such a small scale!

Sherry Schmidt said...

Wonderful! You really captured the scene and atmosphere.

Hi Karin just wondered what camera you use?

Karin Jurick said...

I like Canon Powershot cameras. Nothing fancy, not an SLR, easy to use.

Love the monochromatic tones as well...and the little spot of green on the light!

Karen, just wondering if you've been at the Peoria Illinois fine art fair? Did I see some of your museum paintings there once? I greatly admire your work and your story!

Nope - not me but thank you Judy.
