As of tonight, Thursday, July 2, my work will be featured at Sandstone Gallery in Laguna Beach. The big event is simultaneous with the monthly art walk. That’s always a fun and highly social time, as all the galleries in town are open late. In the Sandstone neighborhood that’s some ten such places, all full of color and life and energy.
Here’s the grand size Blond Boy, shining out 0f the gallery window at dusk. Click for info.
Though Sandstone is generally an abstract gallery, featuring nine artists, sometimes I slip in one of my more representational pieces. And sometimes a very large one. Last year I featured another of that series in the window, of a Tibetan boy, and it was happily discovered by a family from Philadelphia, where it now resides. Who knows where this surfer kid from California might end up? (I’m referring to the painting, not the painter.)
Beauty Walking on Red. Click for info.
The show features about a dozen and a half of my pieces, small, medium and large. Here are just a few, all favorites of course . . . this one and the following fairly abstract, the rest more representational.
Simply Elegant. Click for info.
Here’s a piece that has grown on me the more I’ve looked at it. It’s probably my most understated figurative painting, but says just enough. It was one of a pair, the other of which was sold through the gallery we’re at in Palm Desert.
Blue Smock.
The life-size Blue Smock has been hanging handsomely in our home for some time. And she’ll be welcome back, unless she wins the heart of another. As you’ll see, this is getting a little less abstract, what with the face more developed . . . though is still no one specific person.
Green into Green.
Often galleries like paintings of people with no recognizable face. Such paintings should represent a more general idea . . . one that we can put ourselves into. Like this one: walk with her, walk behind her, or be her.
Flamenco Golds Grand.
Here’s one I made some years ago. It’s been shown a number of places, always adding energy wherever it is. Now is the first time in Laguna.
The show at Sandstone will run for the month of July. The opening, at Art Walk, is the most energizing time. Also in the gallery are eight other great artists, including Anne. Sandstone is at 384 N. Coast Highway in Laguna Beach.
Coming Soon: Anne’s show and book
In just a week we will post another blog featuring Anne’s show at the Laguna Festival of Arts. We’ll also be announcing the release of a new book of her work, Art Under Pressure, to be available through this website, and available now through Amazon. Stay tuned.

I love Blond Boy and Flamenco but all of them are wonderful. We are appreciating your book on Ecclesiastes and looking forward to Anne’s book!

Great energy and each work retains the individuality of the figure. Picasso lost the person as he pushed the reality of each sitter. Remembrandt kept the person and that’s where I place your recent showing…love to see your work going out into the world.
All the best and Anne’s Book I’m eagerly anticipating… John
