Fort Point Roadrunner

Playing around with a photo taken during my recent Aperture Academy workshop at Fort Point in Marin County, adding one of my fabric roadrunner birds and a Samsung Instagram shadow photo.

How Fast Time Passes When You're Having Fun!

Taking advantage of technology to merge old photos by E.A. Autrey, by me, and by Amber (as posted to her Instagram account and easily downloaded,) with a recent quilted place mat, to show the passage of time (from 1952 to 2015)

The Ghost of E.A. Autrey

In my kitchen window hangs a stained glass portrait of a rooster, made by my father, the late, great, E.A. Autrey.  In the evening, the sun hits it in such a way that it casts a beautiful colored shadow over my cast iron painted frog.  Perhaps it is E.A.'s colorful spirit come to say good evening.

Having Fun With Photos

Three nymphs and a kingfisher in Pt. Reyes.

Being Too Old is No Fun

The plan was to draw a fun abstract on colored paper, based on a poem by my mother, but this picture emerged instead.   At a certain point in time, being too old is just no fun.

Painting in the Sun

What happens when you paint on a hot, sunny day in an outdoors studio:
"Sun Flower Cross Section" 9x12 paper on 1 1/2" cradled board.  R&F oil sticks and oil paints.

Big Mouth

Two new oil, cold wax and graphite paintings each on 12x16 inch encausticbord (on 1" cradled wood panels) painted as a diptych (bottom) but presentable as two separate paintings - Big MouthA (top) and BigMouthB (middle).  Painted on a hot, sunny day in California in my outdoor studio as I channeled my love of the sun!

Although not yet completely dry, they are now up on my Saatchi Art gallery:  http://www.saatchiart.com/Lucy
