It's in the Details....Switzerland



The chalet of Balthus, the painter

Stunning green shutters

Detail...with apple blossoms

Geometric patterns for shutters

Hanging outside the front door of an older chalet

Stonework on a path...

Again, my favorite - wood stacking

And more flowers hanging out of the old cauldrons...

A Gift

This is a quick snapshot of a gift I gave my Mother this year for her birthday. An Oceanscape painted directly on a classic old airmail envelope framed and floating between two sheets of glass. I used to paint often on envelopes before continuing onto the larger canvases...you can click on the image to see it close up.

Switzerland...

A small classic chalet with all the local beautiful flowers

All in the details...the Swiss are amazing

Even when they stack wood...is this not remarkable? All around the window frame!

Vista with flowers....
Mountain view with a classic Swiss wooden toy...
An old Chalet...

And on and on the mountains go...

San Francisco Chronicle.....

The San Francisco Chronicle published an article on our home...Our living room with one of my landscapes above the sofa and our dear friend, Eric Zener's work by the doors to the garden. You will see a few more paintings of mine below and then click on the article to the right to see all the photos and article on the house.
Dining room with an Eduard Resbier oil painting of an ocean...I never tire of looking at that ocean.
Our one room living space...we always love to have living/dining and kitchen spaces together...have always done so in our remodels over the years.
Barn Door entrance to the bedroom

Paintings of mine on either side of the bed and one of Jeff Loehmann's framed works on paper...

My Marin sweet little studio next to our house...I will always keep the studio on Union Street in San Francisco as well...
Guesthouse with an Ocean Landscape of mine...

Above are a few photos published by the San Francisco Chronicle on our home in Marin. To see the whole article and many more photos, you can click on the link on the right with the photo of our home. A few comments were misquoted about the house, but it was nice to see it out there and see a year of hard work come together in these pictures...

In Switzerland....By Boat...

Today we traveled by Boat across the Thuner See (See means lake in German) which is about an hour from where my family lives in the mountains...we didn't really have a destination in mind but ended up spending the day in Spietz where you can visit this stunning castle and the views from the lake are out of this world.

The Swiss are amazing with their flowers....here you can see the Swiss flag in floral colour.

This is the castle in the town of Oberhofen on the Thun See.

Here is the castle of Spietz...the colour of the water is so outstanding.

The Harrison Gallery - Celebrating 10 Years together....

 
Here I am with the wonderful Jo Ellen Harrison, the owner of the Harrison Gallery. Her current show is called "Celebrating 10 Years" 2001-2011. We started working ten years ago together and it was fun to be able to see one of my paintings hanging in her current collection (above photo with the barn landscape). She just sold "The Walk Through" pictured below. If you should be anywhere near Williamstown, MA this summer, this is such a great gallery to visit and Jo represents a beautiful collection of artists. (Currently there are ten available landscapes of mine there!). Here is her link:
